Nigerian Army College of Logistics and Management Applauds Agbeyewa Farms as a Model for Food Security and National Development.
The Nigerian Army College of Logistics and Management (NACOLM) has hailed the pioneering efforts of Agbeyewa Farms in driving food security and rural transformation through its large-scale cassava farm in Ekiti.
Speaking during the tour, Brigadier General Manjang expressed admiration for the scale, innovation, and impact of Agbeyewa Farms’ operations. “Before our visit, we had a limited understanding of what to expect from a cassava farm,” he said. “However, after seeing Agbeyewa’s work firsthand, I can confidently say the farm is on the right track and fully aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision to make agriculture attractive, especially to the youth.”
The General emphasized that such agricultural models not only contribute to food self-sufficiency but also provide viable livelihood opportunities for retired military personnel and civilians alike, reinforcing national security through economic empowerment.
The study visit also allowed students to explore the broader role of agriculture in national stability. Major B.I. Sunday, the study sponsor and directing staff, explained that the objective was to expose officers to successful stakeholder collaboration and its relevance in addressing Nigeria’s security challenges, particularly in regions like Ekiti State.
The visit concluded with a colorful parade by NYSC corps members currently serving at Agbeyewa Farms, showcasing the farm’s ongoing commitment to youth engagement and national service.
