OYA: Creating Opportunities for Youth in Agriculture | Flip Farm Resort
Nigeria’s agricultural sector stands at a defining moment. With food security, agricultural productivity and economic diversification taking centre stage, the Tinubu administration has introduced a series of policies and interventions aimed at reshaping the country’s agricultural landscape. In this Farmlife documentary, “Tinubu’s Agricultural Renaissance: Driving Nigeria Towards a New Era of Food Security,” we examine the Federal Government’s agricultural agenda, its major initiatives, emerging achievements and the challenges that remain. From the declaration of a State of Emergency on Food Security in July 2023 to agricultural mechanisation, dry-season farming, fertilizer interventions, agricultural financing, soil health programmes and Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones, the documentary explores the policies shaping Nigeria’s evolving agricultural landscape. We also examine the establishment of the Ministry of Livestock Development, investments in irrigation and rural infrastructure, international agricultural partnerships, export diversification and the sector’s contribution to economic growth. But beyond government policies and announced investments lies a more fundamental question: Are these interventions translating into increased agricultural productivity, improved food availability and affordable food for ordinary Nigerians? As Nigeria continues its pursuit of food security, this documentary takes a closer look at the progress made, the gaps that remain and what sustained agricultural transformation will require. The ultimate measure of an agricultural renaissance is not the number of policies announced, but the harvest they deliver.

Tinubu’s Agricultural Renaissance: Is Nigeria on the Path to Food Security? | Farmlife Documentary
How does Lagos feed more than 20 million people? In Part 2 of Farmlife’s agricultural transformation documentary, we move from Ogun State to Lagos one of Nigeria’s largest consumer markets and one of Africa’s most rapidly urbanising cities. Behind the skyscrapers, traffic and commercial centres is a growing agricultural and food ecosystem built around rice production, aquaculture, livestock, mechanisation, food logistics, processing, agritech and farmer support. This documentary examines how Lagos State is attempting to connect production with one of the country’s biggest food markets. From the Imota Rice Mill in Ikorodu to food logistics hubs, mechanisation programmes, the Produce for Lagos initiative, farmer subsidies and youth-focused agritech programmes, we explore the infrastructure and innovations shaping Lagos’ approach to food security. The documentary looks at: • Rice production and processing in Lagos • The Imota Rice Mill and the rice value chain • Food logistics and distribution infrastructure • Agricultural mechanisation • Market access for farmers • Support for poultry, fish and crop farmers • Aquaculture and livestock development • Youth agripreneurship and agritech innovation • The challenges of producing and distributing food in a rapidly growing city But Lagos faces a very different agricultural challenge from states with vast expanses of farmland. With limited land, a huge population and rising demand for food, the question is no longer simply how much Lagos can farm. It is how effectively the state can connect farmers, technology, processing, logistics, markets and millions of consumers into one functioning food system. Following our exploration of Ogun State’s agricultural transformation, Part 2 takes us into Lagos to examine another side of Nigeria’s food-security story. From the farm to the city. From production to consumption. This is Lagos’ agricultural transformation.

How Lagos State Is Transforming Agriculture and Food Security
Ogun State is taking a different approach to agriculture combining farming, technology, government intervention, private-sector partnerships and market access in an effort to strengthen food production and food security. From the rice fields of Magboro to cassava farms in Ipokia, greenhouse training centres in Ewekoro and agricultural settlements receiving subsidised inputs, this documentary examines the agricultural transformation taking place across Ogun State. The story goes beyond farming. It explores the Alubarika Rice Cluster, the Ogun State Economic Transformation Project (OGSTEP), support for smallholder farmers, youth agripreneurship, dry-season farming, fertiliser interventions, value-chain development and the growing role of women and young people in agriculture. At the centre of the transformation is a bigger question: Can Ogun State convert its agricultural potential into sustainable food production, stronger rural livelihoods and greater food security? In this documentary, Farmlife examines the projects, policies, partnerships and people driving Ogun’s agricultural ambitions as well as the infrastructure, finance, technology and market access that will determine how far the transformation can go. And this is only the beginning. In Part 2, Farmlife turns to Lagos a state with a very different agricultural reality, but an equally important role in Nigeria’s food system. How does one of Africa’s largest cities produce, process and distribute food for millions of people? That is the next story. Watch Part 1: Ogun State’s Agricultural Transformation.
