If you are in the Uk and you want the digital persona finger print scanner to get your biometrics. Am selling mine that I just bought for 50 quid.

Indicate where you live in the UK and phone number.

I tried all options to get my biometrics include the post office but its only for visa application. I had no other choice but to buy.

Please I am seeing two different time tables and conflicting information concerning the start date of uploading for foreign graduates. I am seeing 1st feb on random websites, 8th feb on nysc.gov and the other nysc portal says timetable is not yet out. Having studied finance and Risk management, I really want to be posted to lagos due to the agglomeration of most investment banks and my key strategy is to get everything in soft copy and saved on my desktop so that I can upload and press enter at exactly 00:00am on that day.... lol. Hope it works. #fingers crossed.
Ejooo, biko, what is the correct date.

Hello everyone,
Am currently working on a proposal to cite a small project hydroponic greenhouse farm as close to a city as possible to reduce carriage costs. main products include tomato, peppers including scotch bonnets and capsicums. I currently have all greenhouse dimension sketches and cost estimates worked out and i believe my team and I can construct at least 5 standardized greenhouse tunnels along with a drip irrigation equipment with importing any component.
The model believes in breaking the cartel and selling direct to end users and smaller mass market retailers by building a loyalty scheme with retailers and of course at slightly cheaper prices as well as larger standardized retailers who require constant supply all year round. We intend to build pack houses and wash bay facilities in order to deliver hygienically packed fresh farm produce to the market all year round, basically we want to revolutionise the food packaging and material handling of fresh produce by packaging the same quantities that make up a basket of tomato/pepper in separate 5kg standard crates selling at cheaper unit prices/ bulk discounts.
Easier to access as the farm is cited as close to the city as possible.
The idea is to site this project in the South to make cheaper food available in Southern markets reducing sourcing food from the north and saving costs for retailers.
We sort of got torn in between citing the farm in Rivers state or Lagos state. If we choose lagos state, feasibility studies show that the farm will be best sited in a developing area perhaps Ibeju/Awoyaya axis to guarantee a "future city farm" in a few years time. However, similar ideas are short for Rivers state although there will be a mass diversion of customers from Abia, Imo, Rivers, South east and south south markets patronizing the local farm and as such would save cost of transportation to the North and reduce sourcing from the north.
Please, I would like your opinions on best location between these two places or any other as long as it is in line with the "Southern food production" concept.
And also does anyone know the estimate of how many tons/kg of tomatoes that can be produced from an acre (6 plots) of land under a greenhouse model and of course most of our capital will be geared towards acquiring an acre of farmland in the target area.
smiley All opinions are strongly welcomed.
Thank you
Ms. Ronnie
