NIRSAL Set To Partner with NGE on Empowerment for Journalists

The Nigeria Incentive Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL) says it is ready to partner with the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) on empowerment to enhance their livelihood even after retirement.

Aliyu Abdulhameed, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NIRSAL disclosed this during his keynote address at the 17th All Nigeria Editors’ Conference (ANEC) 2021, organised by the Guild of Editors (NGE) on Friday in Abuja.

Abdulhameed said there were many opportunities and services at NIRSAL that the NGE could benefit from, adding that they were ready to partner with the guild.

“What NARSAL would do with the NGE is to speak with them through a technical team set up by the guild and create a model for up and down stream of how the guild can benefit from the various opportunities in NIRSAL.

” Then, we optimize these models so that when we put in one naira, we can get three naira in returns, because, it is not economically wise to put in one naira and get one naira.

“The agriculture sector is subject to science and modelling. So when we optimize your project with you, we then optimize financial solutions. Then we approach the bank.

” My call of action to the guild is, how we can work with you to create a technical pilot model to benefit the guild,” Abdulhameed said.
