The Lagos State Agro-Processing, Productivity Enhancement and Livelihood Improvement Support (APPEALS) project has started a two-week residency training for 350 women and youth agro-entrepreneurs.
This is contained in a statement issued on Thursday in Lagos by Mrs Folake Ogunlana-Lawal, the project’s communication officer, who quoted the coordinator, Mrs Oluranti Sagoe-Oviebo, as saying a total of 1700 women and youth would benefit from the project.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that APPEALS is a Federal Government and World Bank Assisted project with a core objective to develop the rice, aquaculture and poultry value chains in Lagos.
The project is also replicated in Kogi, Enugu, Kaduna, Kano and Cross River where beneficiaries will undertake entrepreneurial residency training in value chains of comparative advantage in the states.
