The National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, NCFRMI, has commenced the Empowering Youths in Agribusiness, EYIA, Cohort 12 Training Programme at Soiless Farms Limited in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The three-month training, which began on October 9, 2025, brings together selected beneficiaries from different states for intensive capacity development in modern agribusiness.
In a statement by the Southwest Zonal Coordinator of the Commission, Alexander Oturu, the Federal Commissioner, Hon. Tijjani Ahmed, said the initiative is part of efforts to promote self-reliance and sustainable livelihoods among Internally Displaced Persons and other vulnerable groups.
He said the training aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Federal Government to create inclusive economic opportunities through agriculture and enterprise development.
“At the Commission, we believe that empowering our youths through practical agricultural training is essential to achieving food security and long-term socio-economic stability.
“This programme reflects our commitment to building strong partnerships that promote skills development, economic inclusion, and resilience for refugees, migrants, and internally displaced persons across Nigeria,” the Federal Commissioner said.
The EYIA programme is expected to provide participants with hands-on skills in soil-less farming, agritech tools, and entrepreneurship to enable them to build viable agricultural ventures.
