HARAMBE advocates youth development in agriculture
By OLUWASEUN PATRICK
THE Nigerian-American Agricultural Student has in collaboration with Nigerian
Universities initiated a programme that will ensure that Nigeria is hunger
free. This initiative entails parleying with African students from different
countries to enable them to appreciate agricultural practice and thus create
an empowerment avenue, to save African nations and her inhabitants.
The initiative is being spearheaded by nineteen-year old Tola Sumonu, who
studied Agriculture in the United State of America. Tola Sumonu elaborated
that, there are so many other activities that the HARAMBE Endeavor has set
out to achieve, but that focus on agriculture is the pilot initiative of the
group. HARAMBE is currently operating in 10 African countries, to wit:- Nigeria,
Ghana, Liberia, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Angola and South
Africa. In the long term, HARAMBE plans to become a self-sustaining non-profit
that incubate projects, organizations and businesses that are focused on solving
Africa's vast range of problems in an innovative and sustainable entrepreneurial
manner.
