PRESS STATEMENT
Yayi Student Vanguard Congratulates Senator Adeola Yayi on SUN Man of the Year Award
The Yayi Student Vanguard congratulates Distinguished Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi) on his well-deserved recognition as SUN Man of the Year.
This prestigious award
values of diligence, accountability, and people-centered governance that Senator Yayi represents. His interventions across Ogun West and beyond continue to positively impact students and the larger society.
We celebrate this milestone and reaffirm our support for leadership that
is a clear reflection of Senator Yayi’s outstanding leadership, consistent service to the people, and unwavering commitment to development, particularly in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure.
For us as students and young people, this honour further validates the
Nigeria’s annual fish demand stands at about 3.6 million metric tons, while domestic production supplies only about 1.4 million metric tons, leaving a gap of over 2 million metric tons and resulting in an estimated $1.3 billion in foreign exchange outflow annually. We recognise both the enormous opportunity in this sector and the challenges confronting it, including limited access to finance, high production costs, and inadequate infrastructure.
Under our farmer-friendly administration, and with OGSTEP as a key catalyst, we have taken deliberate steps over the past two years to strengthen aquaculture and support our fish farmers across Ogun State. We have registered 5,068 fish farmers on the Ogun State Farmers Information Management System (OGFIMS) and provided free capacity-building programmes for 4,362 farmers, covering group dynamics, proper record-keeping, and the preparation of bankable business proposals.
We have also subsidised 195,436 bags of fish feed at 30 per cent, at a cost of over ₦2.7 billion to the state, to directly reduce production costs. In addition, we have established five fish clusters at Eriwe, Ikangba/Agoro, Ikenne, Ado-Odo, and Ilashe, collectively serving 4,362 farmers and equipped with modern fish processing facilities. Using the Eriwe Fish Cluster, which serves about 600 farmers, as a reference point, these facilities include a near-completed processing plant, lock-up shops and offices, a 5-ton solar-powered blast freezer, a 10-ton cold room, smoking kilns, weighing scales, water tanks, and waste-processing systems.
Through these targeted interventions, we are working to reduce production costs, cut fish imports, minimise post-harvest losses, create jobs, and sustainably improve the livelihoods of our farmers, as we continue to build a resilient and self-sufficient agricultural economy for Ogun State.
