The Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project in collaboration with the Borno State government has commenced business development, modern livestock farming techniques and financial management training for 100 livestock farmers in Borno State.
The participants, drawn from the three senatorial districts of the state are to be equipped with practical skills to strengthen their livestock enterprises.
Addressing newsmen at the training ground in Maiduguri on Thursday, the State Coordinator of L-PRES, Makinta Ali, said the training was designed to enhance the capacity of livestock farmers and improve the performance of the sector in the state.
Ali said, “We are trying to equip them on how to understand and develop their business. How to identify risk and the dynamics of the market involve. They cannot just be doing business and thinking they will get grant or loan without fully understanding business development.”
