To provide agribusiness support to youth, ENABLE-TAAT has established agribusiness demonstration farms at 12 orientation camps of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Nigeria. This initiative was in response to a clamor from the youth who were inspired after benefiting from the compact\u2019s agribusiness sensitization sessions in March, May, August, and September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agribusiness sensitization effort has reached more than 30,000 youth in Delta, Ekiti, Imo, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, and Rivers states, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Many youths showed interest in participating in free training sessions conducted by the youth compact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, the compact presented cassava stems and maize seeds to each camp to facilitate the establishment of demonstration farms. Currently, 12 demo fields have been established as ENABLE-TAAT\/NYSC demonstration farms in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This activity hinges on building an \u201cagribusiness park\u201d where youth get practical experience and access to modern technologies that will be deployed in the fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support this initiative, the NYSC Director General Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim has called for a symposium to train assigned agribusiness staff and interested<\/p>\n\n\n\n

youth on best management practices and monthly progress reports from respective NYSC State Coordinators on the activities at each park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigeria\u2019s NYSC scheme is a one-year mandatory program for new graduates that primarily inculcates the spirit of selfless service, oneness, and brotherhood among the youth, beyond their cultural or social background. The scheme is often the youth\u2019s first call to professional service upon graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENABLE-TAAT compact is implemented by the Youth in Agribusiness unit of IITA. The compact is mandated to equip the youth with modern agricultural technologies in nine commodity value chains while offering them the opportunity to become self-employed and employers of labor.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
