The Ogun State Agro-Input Dealers Association has sworn in its new executive council, led by the Chairman, Timothy Olusegun.
OGSAIDA, an affiliate of the Nigeria Agricultural Input Dealers Association, outlined its commitment to empowering farmers in rural areas with knowledge and tools for safe and efficient agricultural production.
In his remarks after the inauguration which took place in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Olusegun emphasised the association’s mission to bridge the information gap in rural communities, saying, “Our plan is to ensure that farmers receive proper training on using herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers.”
He said the association aimed to ensure food produced in Ogun State remained safe and healthy for consumption.
Olusegun, however, emphasised the need for government’s support in reaching the remote areas of the state with vital agricultural information and resources.
A retired acting General Manager of Ogun State AGRO-Services Corporation, Prince Olanrewaju Adeyinka, commended OGSAIDA’s efforts in decentralising agricultural input distribution.
