By Gertrude Onyekachukwu-Uteh and Ifeanyi Omenogor

Ifeanyi Joel Ugwu is the CEO of Ifenoz Royal Ventures. He hails from Aniocha South LGA; he enrolled into the Delta State Government’s Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurs Programme (YAGEP) in the 2021/2022 cycle in which he was retrained and supported as an existing poultry farmer. He is an SSCE holder. He shares his testimony.

“YAGEP has impacted on me positively and has given me financial settlement. It made my family comfortable. My poultry is growing daily. From the support package of two hundred birds and sixty-five bags of feed, I have grown to three hundred and fifty birds and more bags of feed in one year. Okowa is great.

“I have trained six persons and currently, I have one trainee and one employee. I have acquired a plot of land measuring 100x100. I got married after my YAGEP and I feel fulfilled. I know my future is bright. I earn enough monthly to provide for my family.”
