This initiative, designed to support promising agricultural businesses led by young Nigerians, attracted over 30,000 applications this year, highlighting the strong interest among youth in agriculture and the impact of F4F in nurturing the next generation of agripreneurs.

Adebisi Opeyemi, CEO of Pemnia Wellness, emerged as the grand prize winner, receiving N3 million. Two first runners-up, Edeh Felicitas (CEO, Felinech Global Company Limited) and Williams Ekwebelam (CEO, Bluefish Farm), each received N2 million, while Bernice Oyedele (Bernice’s Farm), Ideede Favour Nukpugi (Favorite Fishery), and Idowu Femi (FMD Agro Concept) were awarded N1 million each as second runners-up.

Beyond financial rewards, the winners will gain access to comprehensive support, including technical assistance, mentorship, business registration guidance, and membership in the F4F alumni network. This holistic approach fosters both business growth and personal development.

Developed in partnership with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and Fate Foundation, F4F demonstrates BATNF’s commitment to empowering young agripreneurs. By providing equity-free capital and comprehensive support, F4F enables promising youth-led agribusinesses to scale up and contribute significantly to Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
