Hon. Kelechi Nwogu Makes Unscheduled Visit to Row’s Palm Agro, Donates ₦10 Million Support for Agricultural Development, pledges Government Support.
The Member representing Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Agricultural Production and Services, Hon. Kelechi Nwogu, DSSRS, yesterday made an unscheduled visit to the operational facility of Row’s Palm Agro, an agricultural enterprise in Omuma Local Government Area owned by one of his constituents, Mr. Rowland Chigozirim Alili.
The unannounced visit was part of Hon. Nwogu’s continued efforts to identify, encourage and support viable agricultural investments within Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency, with particular emphasis on agricultural development, youth empowerment, job creation and economic growth.
On arrival at the facility, Hon. Nwogu inspected the agricultural activities, facilities and expressed delight at the scale of work and commitment demonstrated by the young entrepreneur. He commended Mr. Alili for venturing into agriculture and investing in an enterprise capable of creating employment opportunities for young people within the constituency.
Speaking during the visit, Hon. Nwogu said he was highly impressed by what he had seen and assured the management of Row’s Palm Agro that he would use his position and connections within the agricultural sector to attract relevant government institutions to support the enterprise.
“I am very impressed by what I am seeing here today. As the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Agricultural Production and Services, I promise to support you and ensure that you benefit from the opportunities available within the agricultural sector.”
He specifically pledged to facilitate the involvement of the National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM) to provide technical and mechanisation support that would enhance productivity and expand the operations of the farm.
The lawmaker also promised to work towards attracting the Bank of Agriculture (BOA) to provide appropriate financial support and agricultural financing to the enterprise.
Hon. Nwogu stressed that supporting businesses such as Row’s Palm Agro goes beyond assisting an individual, noting that successful agricultural investments have the capacity to create jobs, empower young people and strengthen the local economy.
“I know that through you, a lot of our youths will gain employment. When we support enterprises like this, we are not only supporting agriculture; we are creating opportunities for our young people to become productive and self-reliant.”
In a further demonstration of his personal commitment to the growth of the agricultural sector in the constituency, Hon. Nwogu announced a ₦10 million (Ten Million Naira) personal support for Row’s Palm Agro as an initial contribution towards the expansion and development of the enterprise.
“On my own, for a start, I will support you with the sum of Ten Million Naira (₦10,000,000).”
The visit reflects Hon. Nwogu’s deliberate approach to constituency representation—going beyond the conventional to identify promising initiatives on the ground, encourage local investments and create practical pathways for youth empowerment and economic development.
