The Nigerian Youth network on MDGs and The Intellectual Group is running a 2 weeks online forum on youth in Agriculture. This is to feed in into the presidential roundtable on youth in Agriculture that will hold in the state house, Abuja Nigeria on the 19th of June 2006.

The presidency as part of hte gains from the debt relief granted Nigeria has dedicated or rather committed a billion naira to youth in Agriculture projects.

Against this backdrop, the online forum seeks to amongst other things create a platform for young people and youth organisations to influence strategically the judicious use of this resource thereby enabling it to make the desired impact at the grassroots.

If you need more information on this initiative, please send me an email on rotexonline@yahoo.com.
