Inspired by the success stories emanating from the implementation of the National Adopted Village for Smart Agriculture (NAVSA) and its prospect to attract the youths to embrace agriculture, leveraging on the digital technologies, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) at the weekend concluded the five days intensive training which culminated into the adoption of another 75 smart farmers into the NAVSA platform at the University of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The programme, which one of the goals is to build a sustainable digital platform that provides varieties of information for more than half of agriculture ecosystem players in Nigeria in order to enable a highly-productive agribusiness economy, has since adopted almost 992 smart farmers and created thousands of direct and indirect jobs to Nigerians.
