The facility also has fish ponds, poultry houses, goats pens in its production area, raffia and an already finished empowerment centre where women and youths would undergo training.

The beneficiaries were  drawn from the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP’s) camp in the state.

Ikonne explained that NALDA was already in touch with farmers who would be supported with inputs and in turn, train budding agriculturists.

He pointed out that each state would benefit from the scheme while calling on state governments to utilise the scheme as a means to create jobs for the teeming population.

Speaking on the NALDA’s empowerment centres, Ikonne disclosed that the centres would have fishery poultry, animal husbandry and raffia grass fields all aimed at job creation.

He said, “The importance of these agriculture empowerment centres is to create job opportunities and also encourage young Nigerians to go into agriculture.

We will be more delighted to have it done with corporate or individuals so that it will be anchored around them and the farm will be managed by them while we empower the youth from the proceeds that come from there.

In addition, he pointed out that the farmers would be recruited in trenches, saying “we are looking at 250,000 young Nigerians across the country, to empower them in different fields in the first phase. It is going to be a continuous phase.”

Speaking after inaugurating NALDA’s rural housing scheme, Zulum commended Ikonne for choosing Borno to execute such Projects, noting that it will Contribute to the economic development of the state.

The governor said he was ready to provide lands for investors who are interested in agriculture.

He added that the initiative would assist mostly returning Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who have been battered by bandits and terrorists over the years.
