Osun Sponsors 20 Youths To Germany For Agricultural Training by tzetzefly(m): 12:36am On Aug 27, 2013
Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola has admonished 20 youths sponsored by the state to Germany on a special agricultural training to remain focused there and ensure that they justify the investment of the state as the trip cost over 64 million naira.

Aregbesola gave the admonition during a send-off ceremony for the 20 youths being sponsored to Germany for advanced training in agriculture and food production technology in State of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

He explained that his administration's commitment to making agriculture more modern is one of the major reasons for sending them to Germany. He said this will increase food productions for local consumption as well as exportation.

The governor noted that the training is in continuation of his government’s drive to revolutionize agriculture in the state under the Osun Rural Enterprise and Agriculture Programme (O’REAP).

He said the administration is providing the necessary infrastructure and supports for farmers by supplying them with inputs such as improved seedlings, fertilizers and fumigants among others; giving them hundreds of thousands of hectares of already prepared farmlands.

He added that his government is liaising with reputable local and international partners–such as the Institute for Agricultural Research and Training (IAR&T), and International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA), at Ibadan for assistance in the area of technical knowledge which will boost production and make farming easier, more interesting and more profitable. He said it is necessary to add value to agricultural practice by applying advanced knowledge in science and technology.

"We have adopted a multipronged approach to achieving this objective. On one hand, we are providing the necessary infrastructure and supporting our farmers with inputs.

"This requires supplying them with inputs such as improved seedlings, fertilizers and fumigants among others; reviving the old farm settlements that were the hub of the agricultural miracles of the Obafemi Awolowo era; opening up our rural areas by an aggressive campaign of road construction and rehabilitation to facilitate easy
accessibility and movement of goods from farms to markets; and the linking of farm produce from Osun to the huge market in Lagos via the Lagos-Osun Rail Logistics System," Aregbesola said.

Nice one. Let's invest more on agriculture.

And for those asking why did training cannot be done here......A developing country is a developing country, and a Developed country is litrally a developed country. You can't compare the both.

Even topics wey no dey controversial dey hype insults.

Aregbesola gave the admonition during a send-off ceremony for the 20 youths being sponsored to Germany for advanced training in agriculture and food production technology in State of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

For the benefit of those who question the need to send them abroad, it appears that the training will require hands-on use of advanced machinery and equipment. Now the question is: Is it more cost-effective to transport all of these equipment to Nigeria for training purposes? (Factor in the cost of transport, insurance, freight and import duties).

When we answer that question, then we can arrive at a reasonable conclusion.

What is wrong in setting up a center here(in Osun), where not only these 20 youths, but so many others too, could be trained? It is a good thing. But is this the best and the most cost effective way of doing it? We are so used to bad governance that mediocrity now passed as good governance.
I realized that Nigerians fall cheap scams and propaganda. All you need to do is give them the illusion of performance(The APC guys knows how to do it) and they will never question the cost.

Why are our people like this for christ sake.....
Instead of you to commend him,some of you are still complaining...its now obvious that no matter how a person tries to satisfy,some pple will still hate and they can do nothing...
.
.
The germany trip is for them to learn new scientifi methods of farming and then come back to apply it to The State Of Osun..
And some pple r stl saying nonsense.....i knw u r just jealous of those youths..i'm very sure all d people complaining here hv neva moved out of dis country,so they r beefing those youths....
You better look for a life,...i knw if they should give you the opportunity to go to ghana,u wl b thrilled..mtcheew...
