A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Helpline Foundation for the Needy, has urged youths to embrace agriculture as a means of improving their socio-economic status and contributing to building a strong economic base for the country.
Helpline made this call in Abuja during a press conference as part of activities to commemorate the 2021 International Youth Day tagged: “Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health”.
The President of the foundation, Dr Jummai Ahmadu, said meaningful success would not be achieved in the agricultural sub-sector without the meaningful participation of young people.
She, therefore, called on government at all levels to engage the youths in productive ventures that would enhance their capacities to earn meaningful income.
