Contributory Farming Machinery Initiative Launched in Kwara to Boost Agriculture
According to a news report from the Nigerian Tribune, a multi-million naira farming machinery project has been launched for farmers in Kwara State to enhance food security.
The project was introduced during the flag-off ceremony of 'Agbeloba', a contributory scheme aimed at eradicating poverty and empowering farmers for a brighter future.
Speaking at the launch in Ajegunle, Oke-Onigbin in the Isin local government area, Mr. Elijah Morakinyo, the Chief Operating Officer of the non-governmental organisation Keycom Foundation, stated that the project aligns with the foundation's mission of helping others and addressing agricultural challenges.
“Following the Foundation's mission which is based on helping others and combating agricultural challenges, the Agbeloba contributory scheme targets to offer manpower, loans, security, and health schemes to farmers in their different categories.
Morakinyo, who led the traditional ruler of Onigbin of Oke Onigbin, Oba Alhaji Salaudeen Kamaldeen, to the Keycom factory site, among other traditional dignitaries, appreciated the farmers for always finding means to farm and eventually help the society with their farm produce.
He also appreciated the traditional rulers present for always providing an enabling environment for the farmers and fighting hard the invasion of unknown persons who, often times, destroy the efforts of the farmers.
The Royal Father of the day, HRM Oba Kamaldeen, who blessed the project site, expressed joy and admiration for Keycom's contributions to Oke-Onigbin and encouraging farmers to support the scheme.
Several other dignitaries who graced the event include; Baale of Iwo Community, Mogaji of Ajegunle Land, Chief Osoolo – High Chief Abdulganiyu among others.
