He said the beneficiaries were captured under the Agricultural Enhancement Scheme (AES) and Community-Based Agricultural Empowerment Scheme (CBAES).
He added they were also under Graduate Agricultural Empowerment Scheme (GAES) and Sustainable Agricultural Development and Empowerment Scheme (SADES).
Fikpo said that six months moratorium was given after which  beneficiaries were expected to repay the loan in installments over a period of three years.
Dan Mallam expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for the timely release of statutory allocations to the NDE, adding that it has enabled the directorate venture into several poverty and youths empowerment projects and programmes.

Earlier in his address, Special Advisor to the Sokoto State Governor on Youth Matters, Malam Nuraddeen Harande Mahe, commended the geature and urged the beneficiaries to concentrate so as to benifit from the training. He said Sokoto State government backs any effort similar to this and is ready to contribute its own part in creating jobs opportunity for the youths, especially graduands of high institutions.

He also advised the graduands and said this is the time for them to be attracted back to the land through a range of incentives and of which training is one of it. He urged the beneficiaries to embrace the training with all sense of commitment and seriousness as it is the way to self-reliance and sustainability.

However, the NDE had selected best trainers and who a of good reputation in providing effective training. According to Mr. Abduljalal Abdulmumin from Gidado Farms, the selected youths to be trained, would in the end become good assets to the state.
Some of the beneficiaries thanked the NDE for the opportunity, assuring that the loans would be used judiciously. 
They promised that they would use the opportunity, which is rare, in building themselves and society.

The Nigerian Governors Forum Describe The Militant Attack On Benue State Governor As Shocking

The Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) has described the militant attack on the Benue State governor as "shocking" and "scary".  Governor Samuel Ortom's delegation was attacked by gunmen on Saturday on the Makurdi-Gboko road, when he visited his farm.  In a statement issued by the group's chairman and Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi on Sunday, the NGF congratulated Ortom for the escape from the attack which it said was "scary and offensive".  Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu also condemned the attack and ordered that security be beefed up on the governor and an investigation launched.  "The NGF has said in a loud voice that efforts to rehabilitate Benue State will not succeed," the statement said.  "One of the relatives of a former governor of the state was recently killed. This kind of act of violence must be stopped for whatever reason to kill the people of Benue."
