Governor Nwifuru Empowers 200 Ebonyi Youths in Modern Farming
Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, on his recent visit to CSS Global Integrated Farms in Gora, Nasarawa State, celebrated the success of 200 young Ebonyians who completed an intensive agricultural training program aimed at transforming Ebonyi’s agricultural landscape.
In a post shared on his X handle, he acknowledged the young trainees’ dedication and efforts, emphasizing how this initiative is part of his administration’s broader mission to enhance food security and empower the youth of Ebonyi State.
The 200 trainees participated in a hands-on program designed to teach them various forms of agriculture, from food production and processing to specialized areas like poultry and fish farming.
The training also covered critical areas in the agricultural value chain, equipping them with both operational and management skills to start their ventures.
Nwifuru’s administration views this training as a significant step toward economic development, as these new skills allow young people to become self-reliant while contributing to the state’s food production goals.
Nwifuru expressed gratitude to Prof. John Kennedy Opara, Chairman of CSS Global Integrated Farms, and his management team for providing top-tier training.
Under Opara’s leadership, CSS Farms has become a recognizedcentrer for agricultural innovation and education, helping transform traditional farming practices in Nigeria.
Through this partnership, Nwifuru’s government aims to strengthen Ebonyi’s agricultural output and make farming a viable and rewarding option for the youth.
The governor also shared plans to support these young graduates as they put their skills into practice.
He committed to empowering them with resources and guidance to establish thein farms, a step he believes will boost local food production and open job opportunities for others.
Nwifuru assured that the state government will closely monitor their progress, ensuring they receive the necessary support while encouraging them to pass on their skills and knowledge to others back home.
Nwifuru’s vision is not just about developing individual farmers but creating a ripple effect that will benefit the entire state.
The governor’s visit ended on a high note, with him extending his congratulations to the trainees and his gratitude to the CSS Farms team.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
