She said that the training would equip them with knowledge on alternative sources of income at retirement.

Highlighting the therapeutic and financial benefits of engaging in agricultural practices, she encouraged retirees to explore ventures such as crop cultivation, poultry, aquaculture, and agro-processing.

She stressed that small-scale initiatives, including backyard gardening and snail farming, can grow into medium-scale enterprises with consistent effort and adequate support.

Speaking on the various efforts of the present administration under the leadership of governor Seyi Makinde to revamp agricultural practices and enhance food security, the state’s Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Barr. Olasunkanmi Olaleye, revealed that 161 agricultural officers have been recruited across all cadres.

He also highlighted initiatives such as a 50% subsidy on tractorization for farmers in the state, provision of motorcycles to Agricultural Extension Officers to improve extension services, and the distribution of agricultural inputs to farmers across the state.

The commissioner further stated that the training of retirees and those nearing retirement in good agricultural practices is designed to encourage them to consider agriculture as a viable post-retirement venture.
