We're Creating Enterprise, Opportunities Through Farmers Food Mart – Fashola
…As Governor visits Alausa Farmers Food Mart, LASAA'S new Office Complex

Jul 18, 2013 - Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) on Thursday inspected the Farmers Food Mart located in the State Secretariat, Alausa, asserting that through the initiative, government is pointing attention to the enterprise and opportunities inherent in farming.

Governor Fashola who was received by the Commissioner for Agriculture and Cooperatives, Prince Gbolahan Lawal and Permanent Secretary, Dr Yakub Bashorun spoke with newsmen after inspecting the food items on display said as a government, the administration is leading by showing the way that if the people follow the track there are enormous opportunities.

According to the Governor, the establishment of the Farmers Food Mart is also part of the initiative to encourage people, farmers and those who are unemployed about the values of farming and the economic benefits from it.

"You will see now rural fishermen and women and farmers bringing their items here and selling it and putting their money in their pocket or putting it in the nearest bank. To them business is favourable", he added.

The Governor explained that the government decided to create a Farmers Mart at Alausa given the sizeable population of the working class at Alausa, comprising of mothers, fathers and young people who can buy fresh food, fish, beef and other farm produced on offer like Garri, Rice straight from the farm.

"There are some value added, there are some Agro processing already going on as a result of what has been created. There is a ready market here, bring it and it will be bought and you will sell and that has happened since we opened this Mart".

"We have opened two more Marts and I think we are opening three more in other parts of Lagos, creating bulk sales outlet so that farmers produce gets to the market with minimum damage and loss as a result of storage needs".

The ultimate objective, the Governor explained is to foster enterprise and opportunities. "You have seen here also the frozen van that helps to keep all of the produce here, so we are trying to get to poor people, we are trying to get to middle working class people and we are also encouraging the young people to take to farming, trying to create enterprise and opportunities".

The Governor also visited the new office of the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) on Motorways and was taken round by the Managing Director, Mr George Noah while being accompanied by the Commissioner for Environment, Mr Tunji Bello.

AWKA_MADE_GUN: Celebrating mediocrity..

eko ile or whatever is your name you should have noticed that people on NL are now avoiding you and anything related to you like plague. But its true, imagine a thread you started since 3pm, you were left alone in it running up and down.

This will still cost Lagos residents billions and food-toll gate just like they are being azzwhipped at every point with tolling..

TUFIAKWA!


Mods please take this gibberish to comedy section..please

Freewilly:


Don't blame them my brother, it's lack of exposure. The dude never been outside Nigeria, I'm sure his seen Walmart or Target on TV and thinks that the little supermarket Fashola just opened must be as big as walmart or target.

FRDChickenisha:

Why are you southeastern fools so uneducated ?

Do you know what a FARMER'S MARKET is? Walmart and Target aren't farmer's markets.

Jeez.......talking about lack of exposure.

tsalam:


like I told you earlier and your nairaland god baby osiki. you need a lobotomy asap and replace your peanut sized brain with that of a cockroach.

ba7man: common, step-up your thought process. Its not about the Market, its about the initiative.

It provides farmers with a ready platform to display their farm-fresh products to be sold to the public.

It negates having to look for the nearest road-side to display it.

Eko Ile:



He careless about all that and even the thread itself, he's trolling and trying to derail the thread so why feed the troll?

Please ignore him...

ba7man: I was trying to feed him knowledge to save him from his ignorance. The more he wallows in it, the more it holds him back in life.
