Nasarawa State empowers 50 women with 2 goats each

Nasarawa State has empowered 50 female goatherds with 100 goats to enhance their economic independence and to contribute to the growth and development of the state.
Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Aisha Rufa’i-Ibrahim, presented the goats to the beneficiaries in Lafia on Wednesday.

She said the gesture further demonstrated government’s determination to empower women to enhance their capacity and socio-economic statuses.

She explained that the empowerment became expedient after the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs had trained the women in animal husbandry in collaboration with the state government.

“On Oct. 14, all of you participated in training on animal husbandry to equip you with the knowledge and skills to rear and manage goats within your environment.

“After the training, the ministry felt it was necessary to support you to practice the knowledge and skills you acquired at the training,’’ she told the beneficiaries.

Rufa’i-Ibrahim said the state government was committed to ensuring the success of the programme and enjoined the beneficiaries to reciprocate government’s gesture by rearing the animals.

“This way, government will be encouraged to commit more resources to expand the programme so that others can benefit,’’ she said.

In his remarks, Dr Ibrahim Musa, Lecturer, Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, advised the beneficiaries to protect the goats from heavy rains and from intense sun.

He also advised the beneficiaries to increase the feeding of goats in pregnancy and when they have just kidded and also to ensure to vaccinate and deworm the animals every six months to increase their productivity.

Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mrs Hannatu David-Luka, Nasarawa State Coordinator of Association of Women Farmers of Nigeria, thanked the state government for the empowerment.

This sounds funny but it's the way to go.

Some years back, my Mom was gifted with a male and a female goats by her friend, and after some years, the goats started reproducing and their numbers keep on multiplying till date.

Actually I won comment to condemn but on a serious note I know that Nigeria is a very poor country with large population and Nasarawa is likewise a very poor state. Imagine spending 100bn yearly for infrastructure,salaries, pension and poverty alleviation schemes then what should you expect.

But why not small cows male and female?
Well if na goat they fit afford to share may they share am well.
One of the reason 9ja can't be better is we've lost our past. We're living the 1850's of Europe only difference is we borrow technology to use.

Goats require feeding and maintenance too wink

As a matter of facf, it is easy to raise 2 at a start than 5 or 7. You need to cater for them and provide a shed for them to retire to at night if they roam.

This is better than buying cutlasses for men like HE Ortom and some South East states do. Giving people kerosene instead of goats is a no no for me.

It is commendable and coming from a woman commissioner suggests to me that the beneficiary women actually requested for the goats.
