Lagos State Commissioner for Agriculture and Cooperatives, Prince Gbolahan Lawal and the Director, Songhai Regional Centre, Father Godfrey Nzamujo on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Songhai Projects in Lagos State.

This is A four-year integrated Agricultural development programme to be undertaken by the Lagos State Government and Songhai Regional Centre, Porto Novo, Benin Republic to develop, equip and create job opportunities for farmers in the agricultural sector in the state.

The Commissioner, Prince Lawal said farmers in Lagos need training in how best to grow and market modern agricultural crops and to provide a good foundation for the project, he said the state has allocated 300 hectares of land in Abia, Badagry, which will be used as a demonstrative regional centre of Songhai in Lagos.

Lawal said the entrepreneurial thinking associated with the Songhai project will help farmers to explore many of the state‘s under-developed and under-sold agricultural sector products.

According to him, the Songhai project meet the aspiration of the agricultural development agenda of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) as it is about reducing bio waste and using renewable resources to generate power and using modern technologies to drive agricultural development.

He explained that it is A- four- year development programme to equip farmers in Lagos to generate electricity from waste to run their farming operations is in the offing. The programme will include a state survey of economic trees which are capable of producing power and a campaign to encourage farmers to plant trees with such potential.

He however disclosed that the target audience is unemployed youths who need all the encouragement to take up agriculture as a career. The project groundwork consist training farmers in a wide range of technologies to boost the production of vegetables, rice and livestock.

Speaking with newsmen after the ceremony, Nzamujo said the centre has developed a lot of renewable resources which could be used to generate electricity in the farm.

He said the aim of the project is to train farmers to improve efficiencies in the use of available resources as well as better and more profitable access to markets. He said the project would improve the quality of life and the economic prospect of unemployed youths, adding that beneficiaries would have become self-employed after acquiring skills in fruit and vegetable processing, packaging, food safety and quality control.

Nzamujo said the centre ‘s approach is climate-smart agriculture which would rekindle interest in the agricultural sector as a viable business option, a valid career choice for Small farmers, and a rewarding option for the vast number of undergraduates leaving university but unable to find jobs in other sectors.

He said the centre is promoting a responsible farming system which supports transfer of new technologies and access to markets. According to him, the project will encourage farmers to become fully self sufficient in energy, using sustainable resources. Using the Shongai model, it will encourage simple energy infrastructure model for the farms built largely around biomass production and utilization.

This will require building simple bio-gas production system fueled by a combination of waste streams. The trend, he explained, is towards sustainable and renewable energy and that jobs would be created that will boost the local economy.

According to him, the programme will provide employment opportunities, engaging an increasing number of households in a variety of sustainable activities that generate auxiliary incomes, and will drive the development of the communities as well as contribute to the overall economic recovery of the state.
