The founder of the Reap Africa Initiative, Mr.Donald Ifeanyi Mmereole explained the concept behind the project KOMANOMA(Back to Agro).

“Project KOMANOMA (Back to Agro)is coined from the Hausa word meaning Back to Agriculture with the pilot phase kick-starting in the Federal Capital Territory FCT and Kaduna state.

“Project KOMANOMA (Back to Agro) is targeted at creating a minimum of at least 100,000 direct and indirect jobs which again will lead to a rejuvenated agricultural economy. We had in time past partnered with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurial Development (SEAD), Small and Medium Enterprise Development (SMEDAN), AND NIRSAL AGSMEIS.

“Having partnered with reputable organizations over the years, we are confident that this project will serve as the deal-breaker and catalyst for rapid agribusiness development in Nigeria. We are presently in partnership with Agro business Development Partners Ltd for professional training, animal mart farms, and fisheries for demonstration and NIRSAL MFB as an accredited Enterprise Development Institution for participants to access funding under the AGSMEIS LOAN SCHEME.” Donald Ifeanyi Mmereole stated.

Mmereole further explained that project KOMANOMA (Back to Agro)is for all Nigerians and should be compulsory to every youth, men, and women households well as retirees who are passionate about agribusiness.
