Governor BAO keeps doing everything to encourage young farmers
When Governor Oyebanji launched the "Bring Back the Youth in Agriculture" program in April, a collaborative initiative between the Ekiti State Government and YSJ Limited, he committed to providing extensive support to ensure the success of young farmers in the state on their agribusiness journey.
First , Mr Governor flagged off a training program for the youths who showed interest.
In June, Mr. Governor stepped it up by flagging off the distribution of essential farm inputs to the youths who successfully finished the training. The event was held at Oke Ako. These inputs included farm tools, seedlings, fertilizers, and more, ensuring that nothing stands in the way of their productivity.
Right at that event , the youths showed so much zeal and energy but requested for more support in terms of mobility to enhance their productivity .
Mr Governor made a promise right there and true to his words , on Tuesday , Governor BAO donated a brand-new bus to the youths in agriculture.
The bus was presented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Abibat Adubiaro, at the Osuntokun Pavilion, Government House Ground .
Governor Oyebanji is one Governor who is not paying lip service to agriculture, he is actively removing barriers and bottlenecks that could hinder productivity.
With the various support systems and structures put in place by Governor Oyebanji in the agric sector , Ekiti is poised for an abundance of food production in few years to come .
Oh , you should see the excitement on the faces of these youths .
Present at the event ; Hon. Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Mr Ebenezer Boluwade , DG Community Communications , Mrs Mary Oso - Omotosho and CEO YSJ
