THE National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) on Friday appealed to agro-business companies, governments at all levels and international organisations to support its members involved in agricultural production. NYCN made the call at a news conference organised by the Directorate of Agriculture in Abuja. The conference was also an avenue for the directorate to unveil its agricultural activities and announce the official partnership with an agro and energy company, Charles De Great Nigeria Ltd. According to Ogbonna, the directorate has secured about 120 hectares of land for youths involved in agriculture in Abriba, Abia. Ogbonna said NYCN had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the empowerment of youths on agricultural production with Charles De Great Nigeria Ltd.
