Nigerian Government Targets Youth Agribusiness Expansion with LIFE-ND Program

The Nigerian government, through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, launches the LIFE-ND program to enhance youth-led agribusiness in the Niger Delta region. The initiative focuses on providing land access, financial support, skills training, and market opportunities to young farmers.

The program has already facilitated the establishment of 24,000 youth-led agribusinesses. Dede Ekou of IFAD praises the program's success in creating economic opportunities for Nigerian youth.
