OUR VISION : To see to it that poverty rate is reduced to 3% in every nook and cranny of Nigeria (in the 774 Local Government Areas in Nigeria. ) OUR MISSION : To industrialize Nigeria through transformational, revolutionary, innovatively packaged agricultural farming via massive, extensive, and intensive training of all farmers in the 774 Local Government Areas in Nigeria plus the usage of the nexus of all key areas of Nigerians that will enhance holistic development such as education, health, social justice and the basic necessities of life. REASONS FOR FORMING THE NGO The NGO was formed to provide what are, essentially, lacking in traditional ones in our country, inter alia To redefine the word, 'empowerment '. Traditionally, empowerment is seen as just giving money or machines to people. We, however, have chosen to give it a deeper or radical meaning as teaching,technical support, and training people how to be holistically independent -particularly in their economic lives by exposing them to empowering seminars, workshops, etc. To reach out to the 'real needy people ' by ourselves rather than doing so by proxy - a common method that deprives these people of the benefits. To engage the people before giving them grant or loan as the case may be To do on -the -spot assessment of what is obtainable among the less privileged, downtrodden, defenceless, and the vulnerable. To follow up our empowerment programmes so as to assess our impacts and measure them as it were. To connect the whole of Nigeria to the rapidly growing and changing world so it could be on the same page with it.
