The Federal Ministry of Livestock Development has trained 100 small-scale dairy farmers in Ibadan, Oyo State, as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s dairy sector and improve local milk production.
The ministry’s Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations, Henrietta Okokon, said to Newsmen this Monday, that the training focused on equipping participants with practical knowledge on dairy farming best practices, improved husbandry techniques, and sustainable approaches to milk production, collection, and processing.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Livestock Development, Idris Ajimobi, also urged participants to apply the knowledge gained and become agents of change within their communities.
The ministry further said that it will continue to scale up similar interventions nationwide as part of efforts to modernise Nigeria’s livestock sector and ensure sustainable growth in dairy production.
