Ekiti State Executive Council at its sitting on Wednesday, approved the clearing of over 1,554 hectares of Agricultural Land across 5 Local Government Areas (Oye, Irepodun/Ifelodun, Emure, Ido-Osi and Ilejemeje) to open up the axis for Farming and fulfil its readiness to partner with multilateral donors in developing agriculture in the state.

The Fayemi-led administration is determined to nurture and grow the transformational agribusiness value chain, that will enhance food security, employment opportunities and empower women and youths. It has met with development partners and representatives of foreign governments, including China, India and Belarus to bring increased trade, new markets, and sustainable development to Ekiti State.

The policy direction of the Fayemi-led administration is to reduce poverty, improve living conditions of Ekiti people and mobilize resources for the state’s economic and social development. As part of efforts to realise this laudable vision of transformation in the agricultural sector, the State Government has entered into a partnership with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD), and International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) to participate in the implementation of FGN/IFAD Value Chain Development (VCDP).

The objective of the program is to enhance and improve the income and food security of poor rural households that are engaged in the production, processing and marketing of rice and Cassava on a sustainable basis.

There is also an agreement with the World Bank/FGN sponsored Agro-processing Productivity Enhancing and Livelihood Improvement Support Programme (APPEALS) with the overall objective of enhancing the transformational Agric Value Chain Development of Ekiti State, particularly in the areas of modernizing and upgrading the existing traditional and drudgery propelled agro-processing centres for maximum productivity.

With the plan to clear a significant land area, the government has shown its commitment to activate the agrarian potential of the state and create more jobs in the agricultural sector.

let's hope its for farming or cattle colony...dnt trust this fayemi and governor forum chairman thing the north agree to giv to him

Cattle colony loading...

Fayemi has already sold exiti state to Fulanis in exchange for a single tenure in office.

Next to roll out a colony is Ogun, Osun and Kwara

Ok

H

Okay

Okay.

Let's see.

Omo Ekiti Ise ya !!!
I hope it won't be for personal reason after harvest.

Our governor is working

Lol. While Fayose was busy sharing ponmo and eating corn while airlifting millions. Yet some people loved him. If there was a mass murderer who hates Buhari, some people will love and praise the mass murderer. Nigeria!

Fayemi, keep up the good work

Let me get this straight, for farming or for fulani herdsmen, somebody should tell me, I don't have strength to read those write up

Wow
Food go cheap niyen

Governor dey pluck mango

A dara fun e fayemi. This is the kind of news i love reading. But you need to delegate such to each local govt in ekiti with specified number of hectares then facilitate it with core principles and inputs.

Next Level!

Amuocha:
Governor dey pluck mango

You cannot understand. Don’t even try, it is above you.

Why cant they clear it and then make a news out if it?

Herdsmen are eagerly awaiting their grazing reserve. Please hurry.

Make they sha no plant marijuana

even if you become herdsmen to come there I own you a single bullet sir

chozzy:
When you hear 'foreign donors' ... just know it is loans.

Fayemi is looking for avenue to incur foreign loans.
These thieves cannot do without incurring massive debts for next govts.
Same thing Aregbesola did in Osun state

Former Gov Fayose managed available resources, no debts but built many legacy projects.

Minster of Information....

You mean fayose did not borrow any money during his tenure.

THE OTHER DAY THE EKITI STATE DEPUTY GOVERNOR WAS RUNNING HIS MOUTH TELLING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO SHARE NIGER DELTA CRUDE OIL WELL TO STATES ACROSS THE FEDERATION.

That is a total NO ! NO !

LET EACH STATE IN NIGERIA LOOK INWARD.

EKITI STATE HAS HUGE LAND FOR AGRICULTURE.

THEY SHOULD GO AND FACE AGRIC !

Nice one from governor Fayemi !

Way to go

Any mention of Fulani herdsmen? Foolhardy to imagine that any serious donor agency will put its money at risk in an agriculture venture not immune from Fulani herdsmen menace.

Ise Agbe, ise ile wa - Farming is our heritage, we must preserve it

Oizatobad:
even if you become herdsmen to come there I own you a single bullet sir

He won’t be coming alone! They don’t!! Get more bullets, vigilantes, RPG, agbekoya, opc, et al. You’ll need it!!!

Only the misguided saw good in Fayose! A society without stabilising mores and values the sort Fayose turned Ekiti into is headed for servitude!! The word “lunacy” crops up when you mention Fayose! #theyrhyme
