The National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) has flagged off the Empowering Youths in Agribusiness (EYIA) Cohort 12 Training Programme.
The programme, which commenced on October 9, 2025, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria, brought together beneficiaries from different parts of the country for an intensive three-month training in agribusiness and capacity development.
The initiative is designed to equip participants with modern agricultural techniques, entrepreneurial skills, and the tools needed to thrive in Nigeria’s evolving agribusiness sector.
The EYIA initiative aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Federal Government, which seeks to provide durable livelihood solutions and promote self-reliance among Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable populations under the leadership of the Commission.
Speaking on the project, the Federal Commissioner, Tijjani Ahmed, reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to youth empowerment and sustainable livelihoods.
“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.”
