According to Comrade Iyere, the portal unveiling ceremony to drive recruitment into the innovative agricultural project will bring together diverse stakeholders, including government officials, industry leaders, NGOs, CSOs, FBOs, development partners, youth organizations,diaspora stakeholders, cooperative networks, security agencies and women groups.

In response, the Minister expressed his appreciation to the delegation for coming to Nigeria to assist the government in solving the problem of unemployment faced by Nigerian youth, while commending the team for the excellent work so far.

He also reiterated the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu towards fulfilling his responsibilities to Nigerian youth, especially in areas of capacity building, youth empowerment, skills training, and job creation.

The portal, which will provide Nigerian youths with the opportunity to apply for agricultural grants and other financing and technical supports, is expected to be unveiled on January 17, 2025, in Abuja.
