Participants of the ongoing advanced poultry farming training facilitated by Senator Saliu Mustapha have commenced their practical sessions in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
The training programme, which aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda, is part of the senator’s efforts to tackle unemployment, enhance food security, and stimulate small-scale agribusinesses in his constituency.
Speaking during the commencement of the practical phase, Dr. Bashiru Alao, one of facilitators emphasized the importance of the exercise in bridging the gap between theory and real-life application.
He commended Senator Mustapha for investing in sustainable agricultural skills that can generate income and reduce unemployment.
Mr. Muhjahid Sanni, a participant from Zango Ward in Ilorin East, expressed his appreciation for the opportunity, describing the training as both intensive and life-changing.
He commended Senator Saliu Mustapha for initiating the empowerment programme and for his commitment to improving the lives of his constituents through practical skill development.
At the end of the training, participants will be empowered with essential tools and 200 day-old chicks each to kick-start their poultry businesses.
Senator Saliu Mustapha, who represents Kwara Central in the National Assembly, has continued to empower his constituents by promoting skill development, economic self-reliance, and sustainable livelihood opportunities.
