The Anambra State government has inaugurated Anambra Community Young Farmers Forum (ACYFF), to boost food production in the state.
Commissioner for Agriculture, Hon. Dr. Foster Ihejiofor, inaugurated the group at the weekend at the government house in Awka.
The Anambra State Association of Town Unions (ASATU) Youth Wing, under the leadership of Comrade Ken Okoli, had facilitated the establishment of the group to aid Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s vision in food production.
Ihejiofor while inaugurating the group praised ASATU Youth for its proactive efforts in facilitating such a platform and pledged government’s support to ensure growth of the members in their agro business.
Speaking at the event, Comrade Okoli emphasized that the group was established to provide a hub for young farmers in Anambra State to leverage on to boast their farming activities, which will tackle rising food scarcity, increase agricultural output, and explore export opportunities. He reaffirmed ASATU Youth’s commitment to supporting policies that drive economic growth through sustainable farming.
