Addressing the Extension stakeholders, the Programme Manager of ADP, Mr. Babasola Adeniyan stated that the workshop became necessary to ensure high quality extension delivery by the private sector, as well as initiate new approaches to be up-scaled by the private sector.
He noted that Extension officers and all agricultural Departments are consistent with the current Federal Government policy on extension.
The Programme Manager of ADP, therefore, implored the extension agents present to ensure that they give full support to the LIFE-ND beneficiaries in all the project communities in the state to enhance the adoption of new innovation in all the relevant value chain of the beneficiaries across the Local govrrnment areas.
