Ikonne added that NALDA was committed to achieving food security and development as he assured that the farm would generate employment, hygienic milk production and cow fattening for meat, while encouraging young farmers to go into animal husbandry farming and animal food formulation.

On employment opportunities through the partnership, the NALDA boss stated that with the establishment of the poultry feed mill, which Prime Ranch provided the land and was managing the 62,000 poultry capacity, there would be feed production for small farmers across the zone and other parts of the country.

He said, “The employment chain will not be anything less that 400, consisting of workers who would be directly involved in these activities, outside the output, which is achieving food sufficiency.”

Also speaking, the founder, Prime Ranch Ltd, Nafiu Yakubi, said the partnership with NALDA was coming into fruition.

He said, “The thinking when we incorporated Prime Ranch years back, is to have a ranch kind of arrangement whereby we grow our animals, grow their feeds, fatten them, and sell them off to the market. The partnership with NALDA is a very cordial one. They support us in all areas that we need support from them.”
