The Federal Government through the Federal Minister of Agriculture and Food Security has trained no fewer than 50 Enugu farmers on improved cassava stem variety cultivation and its pest control.
The one-day capacity training for farmers was carried out in Owo community in Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State on Saturday.
Addressing the farmers in a demonstration farm in Owo community, a Director in the Federal Ministry Agriculture and Food Security, Mr Andrew Edike, advised farmers to adopt good agronomy practices in the cultivation of improved varieties of cassava stems.
According to Edike, this is to guarantee more yield per hectare and rugged cassava produce for value addition in Enugu State.
He maintained that the Federal Government was determined towards developing the capacity of youths and women as they embark on commercial agriculture.
“The beneficiaries of this capacity building will be provided with extension services to guide them in the cultivation of the current cassava stem, made available, for improved yield and value derivation,” he said.
A resource person at the training, Mrs Emelda Akpan, who educated the participants on the new method of planting cassava, pest and disease control, described cassava as an important and profitable crop for farmers.
Akpan advised farmers in the area to embrace improved varieties of cassava stems as they had enormous benefits and gave more yield per hectare.
The program Manager, Enugu State Agricultural Development Program ENADEP, Dr Ogbonna Onyeishi who commended the Enugu State Government for their support to farmers in the state observed that cassava production in the Country was low and required good agronomic practices for high yield.
Some of the beneficiaries including the Traditional Ruler of Ohani Amechidodo, Igwe Hycienth Edeani, thanked the ministry for the training, adding: “This training remains an eye opener for me and my subjects”.
A cassava farmer in the community, Mr Ikechukwu Mbah, appreciated the Federal Government and the ministry for the highly valued training meant to turn their fortune around as they engage in commercial cassava cultivation.
The high points of the training included: distribution of bundles of improved cassava stems to farmers as well as extensive practical demonstration of planting methods of improved cassava variety and best way to control pest control.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
