Unemployment: Adamawa Agribusiness firm equips Youths with Skill, sets to create jobs

By Yagana Ali Yola In the heart of Adamawa State, where unemployment continues to challenge thousands of young people, an indigenous agribusiness company is proving that agriculture can be more than farming—it can be a pathway to dignity, self-reliance and economic transformation. Dabareje AG, an agricultural enterprise operating across Adamawa State and parts of Nigeria’s North- East, is investing in the future of young people by providing practical agricultural training designed to transform unemployed youths into successful agripreneurs. Although the company began with a strong focus on crop production, it has strategically shifted its operations to meet emerging opportunities in the livestock sector. Today, its activities comprise 70 percent livestock production and 30 percent crop farming, while continuing to provide a wide range of agricultural services across the region. Driven by a commitment to youth empowerment, the company has already trained 120 young men and women during the first phase of its agricultural development programme. Encouraged by the positive outcomes, Double AG is preparing to launch a second phase that aims to train an additional 500 youths. Speaking on the initiative, the chairman of the farm safiw daware said the programme was inspired by the growing number of educated but unemployed young people in Adamawa State who possess the potential to succeed if given the right skills and opportunities. “As a practicing farmer who grew up in Adamawa State, I realised that many young men and women have completed different levels of education but are still without meaningful employment. We felt it was our responsibility to contribute to addressing this challenge through practical agricultural training,” the company explained. According to the management, the goal is not merely to teach farming techniques but to equip participants with entrepreneurial skills that enable them to establish sustainable businesses, earn a decent income and support their families. “We want them to see agriculture as an enterprise. When they acquire these skills, they can provide for themselves, support their relatives and create better lives for their children.” The company believes that empowering young people economically will have a ripple effect across communities by reducing poverty, creating employment and addressing some of the social challenges associated with youth unemployment. “When a community is empowered, many young people can be lifted out of extreme poverty. It also contributes to increased economic activities, generates revenue for the state and helps reduce social vices to the barest minimum,” the management noted. Double AG is now calling on government agencies, development partners, private organisations and philanthropists to support the expansion of the programme, stressing that collaboration will enable more young Nigerians to benefit from the initiative. The company described youth empowerment through agriculture as a shared responsibility capable of strengthening food security while creating sustainable livelihoods. Admission into the training programme follows a straightforward process. Interested applicants are expected to demonstrate genuine commitment to learning, comply with the programme’s rules and regulations and possess at least a secondary school education. According to the company, basic education is essential because participants must be able to read, write and communicate effectively to quickly understand modern agricultural practices and apply the knowledge successfully. While the current programme is focused on Adamawa State, Double AG has set its sights on a much broader vision. ...
