Federal lawmaker representing Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency, Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye has trained one hundred youths selected from his constituency in modern fish farming. He has also given an assurance that funds would be provided to enable the newly trained fish farmers set up their own fish farms.
The beneficial youths were trained in Idanre for three by a group of resourceful experts that specialize in modern fish farming. The trainees were also presented with their certificates of participation after the three days training.
Speaking on the last day of the training, Adefisoye said that the training and empowerment programme was in fulfilment of his one year in office speech, wherein he promised to roll out different training and empowerment programmes for the youths in his constituency.
“The youths have been trained in fish farming and they will be given funds to start up. However, we are going to monitor their commitment and level of productivity before releasing another tranche of fund to them to further boost their production”.
The Deputy Chapman, House Committee on Army also urged the trainees to justify the resources committed to their training and empowerment by capitalizing maximally on the opportunities in fish farming business.
“This is one of many trainings and empowerment programmes we have already perfected for the people of Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency. I can confidently assure that greater days are ahead for the people, especially the youths. But it is important to impress it on the trainees that they must justify the resources we have committed to this training as well as the financial empowerment. This is just the only way we can be encouraged to do more for others”.
While speaking on behalf of other beneficial trainees, Ayodele Ogo thanked Hon. Adefisoye for the training and he also assured that the trainees would take maximum advantage of the empowerment programme.
“We are thankful to Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye for fulfilling his promise to train us in fish farm. We are more grateful to him for the assurance of start up fund. This is a lawmaker that has done what his predecessors never thought was good for the youths. He has practically given us fish and has also thought us how to fish. He has truly made a positive impact in our lives and he could always count on our support any time”, said Ayodele Ogo.
