Corporate Farmers Reality TV Show – By Akin Alabi | Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation

Corporate Farmers TV Reality show by Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation

Akin Alabi is a young Nigerian, inspired by food policies adopted by H.E. Olusegun Obasanjo’s governments during his time as leader of Nigeria and the resurgence of interest in Agri-business. He has come up with a unique concept to motivate more African Youth to venture into the Agro-Business arena via “Agrotainment -

As economic development in the African context has moved to secondary and service industries in recent years, the Abandonment of rural enterprise in Nigeria and other parts of Africa is growing by the day. Factors which make the young and old migrate from rural to Urban settings include Overpopulation, loss of interest in Agriculture, climate change (including drought and failed rains), poverty and insecurity.

Corporate Farmers Tv Reality Show is the first to be developed in Africa as an “Agrotainment” platform whose mission is to lure the Youth back to the farm and bring passion for economic empowerment through agribusiness.

The inspiration for this project is in no small part to celebrate the living legend farmer, the only Agbeloba of our generation Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. It is our hope that the participants in the show will emulate Baba’s passion for agriculture. The concept was born to bridge the need to improve the Agriculture sector in the country in which both the Federal Government and State governments appear to be pursuing with dexterity, the growth of Agriculture through the AgricultureTransformation A g e n d a (ATA)·an initiative of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development under the ministerial leadership of Dr Akinwunmi Adesin

How it will work: 40 various youths in groups of 5 to 8 will be selected to live in the “Farm House” 3 months.

What will they do? : The project is scheduled to run for a period of one year broken down into 3 sections

First : registration, selection and Auditioning of contestants to choose the 40 young Farmers that will enter the farm house

Second Quarter: 40 contestants enters the farm house for a period of 3 months to do Agriculture in another dimension via our Agricultural Technical team from IITA , Agricultural Society of Nigeria. After which 5 will be selected as winner for the Corporate Farmers TV Reality show season 1.

Third Quarter: This period is the time to celebrate Agriculture in Nigeria and Africa through the first Nigeria Agrotainment Award to celebrate Farmers, youth, and Federal states who have contributed to the resurgence of Agriculture.
