Value of Northern Nigeria Program

In Sokoto, Nigeria, I had the privilege to draw on the lessons learnt from Value Chain Development Program (VCDP) and adapt the Community Development Association (CDA) and Financial Services Association (FSA) for on-boarding to the Value Chain of Northern Nigeria (VCN) program. It was an exciting and interactive session with the State Program Cordinator (SPCs) and cooperative Leadership.

Agriculture is a way to go in Nigeria, it behooves the Federal and state government to innovatively mobilize domestic resources for capital investment in Agriculture.

Timely supply of inputs to farmers is sacrosanct to increase productivity in crop production.

Capital investment in value addition is vital to reduce post harvest losses.
