In celebration of World Food Day, Capacious Farms & Foods Ltd hosted the 2024 Junior Secondary School (JSS) Arts & Essay Contest Award Ceremony yesterday, with sponsorship from Adron Homes & Properties. The event, which took place at the Adron training School in Simawa, aimed to engage young minds in agriculture, creative arts, and essay writing to raise awareness about food security and sustainability.
The competition saw participation from 40 schools nationwide, each submitting entries focused on the future of agriculture and its role in combating food insecurity. After a rigorous judging process, five schools emerged as winners, with students from these schools receiving cash prizes, generously sponsored by the foremost real estate company in Nigeria, Adron Homes & Properties.
The Chief Operating Officer of Capacious Farms & Foods Chi Tola Roberts, emphasized the significance of the event in her address. “Commemorating World Food Day through this contest highlights the critical role agriculture plays in our society. Our goal is to spark an early interest in agriculture and equip students with the knowledge and motivation to pursue careers in the sector,” she stated. Roberts also announced that the contest would become an annual event, with promises of broader outreach and increased opportunities for students.
The chairman, Adron Group, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking spoke passionately about Nigeria’s agricultural history and the importance of returning to its roots. “Our nation was built on agriculture. Cocoa House, one of Nigeria’s landmarks, was funded through proceeds from cocoa farming. By supporting initiatives like this, we aim to inspire the next generation to see agriculture not only as our past but as our future,” he said. Emmanuelking reiterated Adron’s commitment to supporting youth engagement in agriculture, particularly through sponsorships like those awarded at this event.
Prof. Adesegun, Chairman of the Babcock University Schools Management Board, delivered a keynote speech on the global food crisis and the importance of youth involvement. “We are facing a global challenge in food security, and the youth must be at the forefront of finding solutions. This competition is a step in the right direction, as it encourages students to think critically about the future of food and agriculture,” he remarked.
The event provided a platform for young students to showcase their artistic and literary talents, exploring themes that align with the mission of World Food Day: ending hunger and ensuring food security for all. The five winning schools were awarded cash prizes, and their students were celebrated for their exceptional creative and analytical contributions.
Capacious Farms & Foods Ltd and Adron Homes & Properties have committed to making this competition an annual event, fostering a deeper connection between Nigeria’s youth and the agricultural sector.
