The Chairman of the group, Comrade Kareem Aderemi said this during a News Conference in Abuja on Monday.

“We will bring at least 70 per cent of Nigerians into agricultural vocation in support of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda of guaranteeing food sovereignty.

“We are delivering a service based economy with a production based economy to catapult Nigeria’s economy to higher levels, ” he said.

The EDUFACS Chairman affirmed the determination of his group to ensure the promotion of local content in all projects.

According to him, we encourage school children and students to participate in Agriculture and we will pay their tuition.

He said that they would continue to imbue pride in the country through its agenda of land use for farming advantage.

Aderemi said that the group is committed to innovative agriculture which has the capacity to employ about 2.3 million Nigerians.

He said that a lot of Nigerians would be taught how to process goat milk which according to him is more healthy and nutritious than cow milk.

Aderemi who reiterated the need for promotion of locally produced goods, said that 90 per cent of goods to be given to their beneficiaries are Nigerian-made.

The EDUFACS boss said that their organisation would continue to add value to the Nigerian economy through the production and distribution of organic crops.
