With
over 2000 jobs to be created, a new cassava village, targeted at youth and
women will soon be launched in Niger State. According to Niger State
coordinator for The International Fund for Agricultural Development
(IFAD)-Value Chain Development Programme, Dr. Mathew Ahmed, the idea behind the
village was to lift cassava
production in the state and ultimately create jobs
for youths and women. Some of the activities that would be taking place in the
center include: peeling of cassava tubers s well as grating and frying. Ahmed
disclosed that N150 million would be needed to complete the project which is
in Lokogoma, Wushishi local government of the state. He added that the
state government had also shown its commitment in the project, having approved
N87.1 million for its execution.
The
construction of the village is presently ongoing and upon completion, would
require services of marketers that would help in taking the village’s products
to consumers.
Meanwhile,
the International Fertilizer Development Company (IFDC) has promised to give
free fertilizer to 112 farmer groups of the 350 farmer groups in the state.
