The West Africa Network For Peace Building (WANEP) in collaboration with the international confederation of charitable organisations, focused on the alleviation of global poverty (OXFAM), on September 14, 2017, organised a one-day sensitization workshop for key stakeholders in the Agricultural sector in Kebbi.

While declaring the workshop open, the Permanent Secretary Kebbi state ministry of Agriculture, Alhaji Muhammed Lawal Shau said agriculture is the only way and avenue in the world that can sustain human resource and, if Nigeria depends on crude oil alone it may not be able to pay workers salaries across the country.

The Kebbi state coordinator of OXFAM Olumide Ojo, said the meeting was to sensitise stakeholders and focus on how to increase investment into Agric coupled with climate change adaptation for small-scale farming. The workshop also focused on how to increase the participation and accessibility of women into agricultural produce in Kebbi.

Oxford Committee for Famine Relief (OXFAM) was founded in the year 1942. It focuses on Poverty eradication, disaster relief, advocacy, policy research, pro-migration.
