Call for focus on Agri tech skills to enhance agriculture and create jobs for Nigerian youth By Grace Ademulegun Mohammed Ibrahim, Executive Secretary of the National Agricultural Development Fund (NADF), has called for a stronger emphasis on skill development in the Agri Tech sector to both enhance agriculture and create jobs for Nigerian youth. He highlighted the significance of combining agricultural expertise with modern technologies to prepare young Nigerians for the future workforce, especially in a sector where agriculture and technology intersect, offering vast opportunities. Speaking at a stakeholders’ roundtable on Nigerian Youth Development in Abuja, organized by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation, Ibrahim pointed out that while technological advancements in agriculture are progressing quickly, the sector has yet to fully take advantage of these innovations.  ——— To continue reading, click the link in our bio ——— Follow us for more news updates #news #newsupdates #breakingnews #newspaper

African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD) and International Centre for Evaluation and Development (ICED) are collaborating to work with individuals and organizations to nurture networks of African academics to do research and influence systems change.

Episode 23 of 90 This is a special Episode for my colleagues in Academia and Research 🔬 Consistency in Research: A Key to Success 🔬 Consistency has always been a cornerstone in the field of research and academia, playing a pivotal role in achieving credible and replicable results. Here's why consistency is paramount: 1️⃣ Reliability of Results: Consistent methods and procedures ensure that the outcomes are dependable and can be trusted by the scientific community. 2️⃣ Reproducibility: A consistent approach allows other researchers to replicate the study, validating the findings and contributing to the cumulative knowledge in the field. 3️⃣ Minimizes Errors: Regular and uniform data collection reduces the chances of errors, ensuring accuracy and precision in the research process. 4️⃣ Builds Trust: Consistency fosters trust among peers and stakeholders, reinforcing the credibility of the research and the researcher. Since 1948, the Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute (NSPRI Nigeria) has been at the forefront of research on postharvest losses handling. With unwavering commitment and consistency, NSPRI continues to explore innovative solutions, driving advancements in the agricultural sector and reducing food wastage. Consistency is not just a virtue but a necessity in research. It underpins the integrity, reliability, and credibility of scientific endeavors, driving innovation and progress in every field. Embrace consistency and pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries! 📊🔍 #Research #Consistency #ScientificMethod #Innovation #Credibility Lateef Dimeji The Centre for African Leaders in Agriculture (CALA) AGRA African Development Bank Group Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation Federal University Of Agriculture, Abeokuta Bamishaiye Eunice Mandu Inana Michael Omodara Agro Nigeria Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA)

AATF's Dr. Daniel Kyalo Willy is currently attending the Seed Stakeholders Learning Forum happening in Kampala Uganda from November 26-29 2024 and organised by AGRA. Dr. Willy shared lessons learnt from across Africa on Policies for strengthening the #SeedsSystem. He notes, ""Policy decision making needs to be supported by data. Without data, policy makers will not understand the depth of the issues that farmers are facing and the limitations to the access to quality seeds" #AATFAfrica #ProsperitythroghTechnology #ScalingforImpact

Although Africa contributes to only about 2% of global research outputs, less than 0.1% is progressed to patents and industry outputs within the continent. Most of it remains in print journals or online resources and benefits others. Development of these research outputs into industrial products would help solve the myriad of social, economic, nutritional, diseases, poverty among other problems prevalent particularly in sub-saharan Africa. As a beneficiary of the current training in International career writing program (ICWP), I choose items no.1 Starting a business and no. 10 to start a community project within my research area, to define my enterpreneur thinking. A business or a community project focused to address health, nutrition and disease remedies for local communities, is an area that requires improvement as such issues impede severely the development of Africa. I have been involved in a community engagement research before funded by Welcome Trust that focused on prevention of livestock diseases. Our research team brought together a group villagers in a rural area in Kenya who progressed to establish a community based organization (CBO). Working together improved their social and economic capital resulting to better lives. Starting a business will demonstrate problem solving and sustainability. It is time researchers and academics transform into enterpreneur thinkers!
