The programme aimed to equip women cooperatives in Ijebu Ode with essential skills to enhance their agricultural businesses.

The training, which was held recently in Abeokuta, focused on teaching the women how to effectively use equipment such as dehydrators, grinders, slicers, and sealing machines, all integral to their agricultural operations.

The Women’s Cooperative society was properly registered with SMEDAN, ensuring that they have the recognition and support needed to thrive in their business interests, while SMEDAN also donated farm machinery to the beneficiaries at the training in the state capital.

While speaking on behalf of other beneficiaries, the head of AFAN Women Ifedera Agri Geo Cooperative, Abdul Temitope, expressed their gratitude and prayers for Senator Daniel.

The visibly excited representative lauded him for his large-heartedness and kindness in empowering the women and wished him continued success in all his future endeavours.

“Distinguished, Honourable, Senator Oluwagbemiga, omo Daniel, Otunba Obalofin! We really appreciate you for this opportunity given to we women in agric, Ijebu Ode.

“Thank you so much for this opportunity. We like to appreciate you more and more. God will continue to protect you (and) your family,” she said in part.
