@ Delaruh. Have you been to your local government to ask about the Fadama project? Please find out if there groups you can join on fish farming. Starting a group can be stressful

I m suggesring we register as Ogun youth so the Local Government areas will be umbrella Chapters. That will means the registration at the state secretariat covers all Local Government in Ogun State

The co operative membership is open to every youth in Ogun state. Every youth is welcome. Youth with vision

Pls check your mails to read the official invitation to the general meeting. its all Youth in Ogun state that wants to be empowered. Our people said "Agbajowo la fin soya" meaning "Together we stand"

jethro2: 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

I am interested but I don't have a farm yet,I'll need advise on how to rent a farm land to start farm. My phone no is 08099241982 e-mail weybesay_2@yahoo.co.uk

@say2say. The co operative is for every youth irrespective of your specialization. But farmers have extra edge and more incentives that has been set aside for them by the state government which can only be accessed when you belong to a co operative. The issue of land. You have to consider your location for easy access to farm. Meet any farmer in your area and discuss with them. I believe there are plenty lands. For more info on how to be a member of the co operative, join us for the first meeting on saturday the 15th of Dec in Abeokuta. You will also be part of the decision making. Any question you have will be duly attended to.

jethro2: @ Delaruh. Have you been to your local government to ask about the Fadama project? Please find out if there groups you can join on fish farming. Starting a group can be stressful

No I haven't been to the LG yet but working on that and moreso we have a link to the chairman so we are looking into how that can help.

@jethro2,
This is a good move. I must commend your courage. You will know one,if you see a great Man.
Yeah,I live in Abeokuta South LG and I am from Abeokuta North LG. I am a member of the Abeokuta Chamber of Commerce,Mine&Agriculture. The info. about the agric loan was brought to our chamber some months back. I think mid of the year. We were asked to fill a form with our Passport photo,that is all I hear or see since then. That is why I don't always rely on govt aid/grant cos the play politics alongside. Yet,this is our State,let's continue to explore till we get our own share of dividend of democracy.
I subscribe to the Farmer's co-operative,even if the govt grant is not working. I like working and associating with great minds.
I am an Entrepreneur and I am looking forward to investing in Agriculture in the nearest future. I can start from here.
My e-mail: maplelandnewacca@yahoo.com
Thanx

@ newacca. Thanks for the encouragement and interest in the group. Its true our government do play politics with everything. The more reason we want to beat them at their games. Apart from the government, their alots of alternatives finance house that will attend to us as a collective group rather than individual. We have better advantage as a group. And the co operative sole aim is to be able to help ourselves in everyway we can. Collectivelly we can surmount big obstacles. Lots of us just need some little help to scale through. You are highly welcome. We will be expecting you at our first meeting. We will keep updating you

Most people has been mailing me to ask if other state youth or people residing in Lagos can join our co operative group. We are sorry to inform you that we dont have the capacity to extend outside Ogun state. For us to function well we need to put all our resources and energy in our state. Thank so much for your show of interest. We do appreciate you
