SEDC Launches 15 Agromechanisation Projects in S’East
The South East Development Commission (SEDC) is set to launch 15 Agromechanisation projects across the South East region of Nigeria, aiming to revive the agricultural sector that once made the Eastern Region the fastest-growing economy globally between 1954 and 1964. The projects will be implemented in partnership with state governments, beginning with Enugu State.
During a community engagement in Nomeh, Nkanu East Local Government Area, Dr. Clifford Ogbede, Executive Director of Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Rural Development at SEDC, emphasized that the initiative would create numerous job opportunities and attract local and foreign investors. The projects will also involve the introduction of improved agricultural practices and support for local farmers.
Governor Mbah nominated Nomeh for the program, which is expected to enhance agricultural knowledge and encourage youth participation in farming, countering the current trend of youth aversion to agriculture due to its demanding nature.
