The Director General of Next Level Progressive Movement, Hon. Owoeye Abiodun, in partnership with the Chairman of Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, Hon. Moroof Ogundipe, have announced plans to distribute 500,000 improved cocoa seedlings free to farmers in Obokun LG.
The event will take place at Otan Ile by 10 a.m on Friday, according to information from the organisers.
The organisers said the distribution is aimed at supporting cocoa farmers with quality seedlings to increase yield, improve livelihoods, and strengthen agriculture in the council area.
The event, themed “Boosting Cocoa Production for Greater Prosperity in Obokun LG”, will host All Progressives Congress party leaders, members, and all cocoa farmers in Obokun LG.
Beyond the seedlings, beneficiaries will also benefit from training on modern cocoa farming techniques and an engagement session with agricultural experts.
The organisers said the initiative reflects the commitment to grow agriculture at the grassroots level.
“Agriculture is the backbone of our economy. Together, we will grow in Osun,” the organisers stated.
Party leaders and members across Obokun have been urged to turn out in large numbers for the flag-off, described as one of the biggest seedling distributions in the LG this year.
Organisers advised farmers to come early as the free seedlings will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
