CHI Farms Limited and AFOS Foundation commence 3rd phase of agriculture training

CHI Farms Ltd., a member of the TGI Group, and one of the leading agribusiness companies in Nigeria has commenced the third phase of its training partnership with German NGO, AFOS Foundation, to grow the capacity of semi-formal educated Agriculturists in Nigeria.

Participants of Agricultural Training

The one year program will see beneficiaries – who are mostly adhoc staff with the company in various capacities – being equipped with best practices to become highly skilled Agricultural Technicians. The training will combine both the theory and practical aspects of livestock management, feed milling, hatchery, production and processing equipment. After the program, participants will be offered employment at the company.  

In his comment during the flag-off of the training, Dr. Tunji Olaitan, General Manager, CHI Farms Ltd., said ‘’We have been in partnership with AFOS Foundation since 2017, mostly in areas of management training. Therefore, we are excited about the commencement of this new phase which will now provide world class training to our junior staff and operatives, equipping them with global best practices in the business.  

"This is a reaffirmation of our belief that real quality in operations requires training to be extended to all cadres of staff and not just the management team”, he continued.

A participant at the training, Abejide Omolola, expressed her appreciation to CHI Farms Ltd, noting that the program would provide her and other participants with the opportunity to attain career growth in the industry, an edge that formal tertiary education in the field could have provided for them. She said, “This training will go a long way to help us because, my colleagues and I did not go to any university or polytechnic. Everything we gain will help us do our job better. I am very grateful to CHI Farms Ltd. and AFOS.”
