The Ogun state governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun has said that he can only make agric loans accessible to youth farmers if we apply through their co operatives. I see this as a good development. I m using this media to reach out to youth in Abeokuta who have passion for any form of farming so as to help our bussiness grow or you want to start one by forming a farmers co operative. Pls if you have interest kindly drop your mail or send me one at adesola_yinka@yahoo.com. Suggestions, observations are highly needed and welcome. Thank you

AM INTERESTED IN THE CO-OPERATIVE, HOWEVER I AM JUST STARTING AND MY FARMS WILL BE LOCATED AROUND ILARO
and my e mail is babsodus2k@yahoo.com.

and what is the requirement to access the co operative

i am interested.my home town is totoro abeokuta.you cn email me on akins02324@yahoo.com

Sorry for not replying on time. I ve been working on how to get us together. I was at the state secretariat today to make some enquiries. 1. At the ministry of commerce and industry, to be able to access loan i was told the members has to be in the same local government area. Please we will work on it in such a way that people in the same local government will be grouped together. Please you have to state your locations. 2. I was also told it can be a multipurpose co operatives so that we will not be limited to only agric loans. That means other youth in different professions can be member

For the co operative registration requirement with the government, we need to have a specific meeting place. We will need to have the excos. We will also need to draft a co operative by law. We are also to open a bank account with 3 signatories. Thats when we can invite the ministry for inspection and registration

@ Delaruh and Bola_dex. The minimum of people in a group is 10. We will wait and see how many others join from Ilaro and Ifo side to do the grouping. We will definately all work together. Please invite your friends even those not in agric.

I stay in Abeokuta North L/G please lets mobilize more youths to form this society and let get the modalities and know where and when to meet.

Pls indicate your location for registration and groups. I will be updating with any developments. Your suggestions and contributions are highly welcome.

@ Floxi. As soon as we are 10 in Abeokuta. I will suggest we fix a meeting. My opinion. And the same applies to each local government. I m glad we are doing this. There a lot of incentives for co operatives that is been provided by the ogun state government. We as the youth should take advantage of it to build ourselves.

Precisely Adedotun, but how are we going to be sure that there will not be another parallel society within the local govt that will be 10, you know that there might be others too with the information who might not be on Nairaland. It means we have to be fast about whatever we want to do.

I am interested, my mail is "a_4labi@yahoo.com". I am base at Sango Otta.
Many Thanks

@ Floxxi. I meant the minimum number to start the co operative is 10 people. We can be as many as possible. There are a lot of co operatives around. They cant disturb each other.

@ Guarantor. Please where are u based in ogun state?

Alright.

Our first meeting will be coming up next week in. Abeokuta We will update you about the venue and time. Thanks for the interest

This is a youth multipurpose co operative society. Every youth in ogun state is elligible to join. We will work something out based on our various Local Government Area.

I'm loving the progress in getting this association established
Is ilaro under IFO LG ? If so then I think we are now 3 ....the dude from sango Ota,Ilaro and including myself from lambe IFO LG.
@Jethro I think we should have a list of all the LG in Ogun state ,so to knw how many LG we have a member so as to know which group is eligible due to the minimum number of person in a group.
My email again davidpinion11@yahoo.com,my bb pin:27603E64 and my fone number 08168686345.

@ Delaruh. I m glad to know this. There are about 21 local government in Ogun state. Any group that have their minimum 10 members can start. We will participate in every group to really make it a success.

@bayfam,Thanks for that correction,akute is not far from lambe we can easily come together and see what we can do together , yesterday I convince some friends living in jolasco and nepa scope ,we called jethro and she enlighten us more abt the loan ,so now we are 4 in number.

@jethro...thanks for encouragement and for the update,but I think we need to be having a general meeting in which each LG will have a delegate that will attend to atleast know how we can help each other from zone to zone and to get more update to know what is really happening.and pls dnt forget to upload the form we discussed yesterday.

@ Delaruh. Thanks for the suggestions. Lets start suggesting a possible date for the General meeting so we can send invitation to every one. If its Abeokuta, i will volunter the venue . Any other suggestions is welcome. I m not too good at computer stuff but i will ask somebody to upload or attach it for me
