FG Flags off Agriculture Initiative for Secondary Schools

President Goodluck Jonathan has flagged off the National Schools Agriculture Programme, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Schools Agriculture Programme, Dr. Baraka Sani, the goal of the programme is to build technical and entrepreneurship skills in the students to run agriculture as a business.
Sani said the programme was also aimed at equipping school leavers with practical life skills to create jobs for themselves and to enable the youth develop a positive attitude towards agriculture.
She said that as part of the pilot phase, a School Agribusiness Club would be established in selected schools from 12 states of the federation across the six geo-political zones.
