Picture a land blessed with fertile soil, where the sun kisses the earth, and bountiful harvests thrive. That land is Ebonyi State, and it was under the capable leadership of Chief Ogodoali Moses Nomeh that this vision turned into a reality. As the Commissioner for Agriculture, Chief Nomeh spearheaded numerous initiatives that spurred growth, productivity, and innovation in the agricultural sector.
During his tenure, Chief Nomeh championed the “Green Revolution” campaign, which aimed to increase agricultural productivity by promoting modern farming techniques and providing farmers with access to cutting-edge technologies. Through this initiative, he introduced advanced irrigation systems, improved seed varieties, and enhanced farming practices, enabling farmers to achieve higher yields and secure their livelihoods.
But Chief Nomeh’s efforts didn’t stop there. He recognized that sustainable agriculture is not only about increasing productivity but also about ensuring market access and improving value chains. To this end, he implemented the “Farm-to-Market” programme, which established robust infrastructure networks to connect rural farmers directly to consumers and markets. This initiative eliminated intermediaries and allowed farmers to earn higher profits, empowering them to reinvest in their farms and communities.
Under Chief Nomeh’s leadership, Ebonyi State experienced an agricultural renaissance. Farmers were no longer confined to subsistence farming but were instead equipped with the tools and knowledge to embrace commercial agriculture. The once struggling farmers became thriving entrepreneurs, driving economic growth and creating employment opportunities in the process.
