The Federal Government has trained 500 women and youths in Ogun State in modern vegetable production techniques, according to a BusinessDay Nigeria report published on 25 August 2026.

The initiative is aimed at boosting vegetable production in the state. The available report identifies the number and broad categories of participants but does not provide a breakdown between women and youths or indicate where in Ogun State the training took place.

Details of the techniques taught, the duration of the programme and the federal agency responsible were not included in the supplied evidence. It is also not yet known whether participants received seeds, equipment, financing or other support to put the training into practice.

No production target, implementation timetable or method for measuring the programme’s effect on vegetable output was provided. Further information would be needed to assess how the training changes farm activity or production among the 500 participants.
