WE ARE DETERMINED TO ACCELERATE ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN DELTA STATE – DR. DONALD ONYIBE PETERSON
The Executive Governor of Delta State, through the office of the Special Adviser on Entrepreneurship Development, envisions a transformative approach to economic growth by prioritizing enhanced entrepreneurship development. The key focus areas include a strategic emphasis on the improved Cassava initiative, hydroponics, and aeroponic farming practices.
In the realm of agriculture, the governor aims to revolutionize the Cassava industry by implementing advanced farming techniques, fostering research and development, and creating a supportive ecosystem for Cassava farmers. This initiative not only aims to increase agricultural productivity but also to establish Delta State as a hub for Cassava production, processing, and export.
Additionally, the administration places a strong emphasis on embracing modern agricultural methods such as hydroponics and aeroponics. These soil-less farming practices are expected to enhance crop yields, optimize resource usage, and provide a sustainable solution to agricultural challenges. The integration of these technologies into the farming landscape aligns with the governor’s vision for a technologically advanced and environmentally conscious agricultural sector.
The overarching goal of these initiatives is to address the persistent issues of unemployment and underemployment in Delta State. By promoting entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector, the government aims to create new opportunities for job seekers and empower individuals to start their own ventures. This approach not only stimulates economic growth but also contributes to poverty reduction and overall societal development.
In summary, the vision of the Executive Governor through the Special Adviser on Entrepreneurship Development centers around leveraging innovative agricultural practices, with a specific focus on Cassava, hydroponics, and aeroponics. This holistic approach aims to not only transform the agricultural landscape but also to catalyze economic development, mitigate unemployment, and elevate the overall well-being of the people in Delta State.
