As parts of effort to participate in the development of Nigeria’s agric sector, the British American Tobacco Nigeria Foundation (BATNF) has disclosed its plans to invest N700 million in the country’s agriculture sector. 

The company said this was in line with its development assistance framework, the 2022 country programme, to support sustainable agricultural development in the country. Its Executive Director, Abimbola Okoya, made this known during the launch of the BATNF ‘Wealth is Here’ campaign in Lagos on Tuesday.

Okoya explained that the Foundation decided to choose the promotion of sustainable agriculture development in Nigeria because it is the largest employer of labour and one of the fastest ways to build a prosperous business enterprise following the numerous opportunities that are endowed in the sector. She said that the foundation decided to intensify on the wealth is here campaign in order to expose young people to entrepreneurial opportunities, advocate for policies that affect agricpreneurs and farmers, provide access to finance, markets and technical support to encourage the establishment of viable businesses.

She noted that the campaign was mooted in the wake of the Libya slavery, brought to light by a Cable Network News (CNN) expository that revealed the desperate and increasing migration of youths out of Nigeria in search of greener pastures.

The BATNF executive director stated further that it was the foundation’s expectation to use this campaign to revive hope and patriotism in the Nigerian youth about their nation and most importantly inspire entrepreneurial interest in agric sector.
