President of the African Development Bank, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, has advocated for youth investment in Nigeria’s Agri-business.
Adesina underscored the vital role of youth in revolutionising Nigeria’s agricultural sector and highlighted the success stories of some young entrepreneurs. Adesina urged religious and government leaders to support AfDB’s Enable Youth in Agriculture programme, a $490 million initiative designed to foster youth-led agri-businesses across Africa.
He drew parallels between the historical forced migration and the current perilous journeys taken by young Africans in search of better opportunities abroad. He pointed out the inadequacies of current financial systems that demand unrealistic requirements from young people, hindering their ability to secure funding and thrive.
