Behind every Farmersโ Hub is a team of people responsible for ensuring that farmers within their communities are properly supported, connected, and carried along.
To strengthen that process, the Farmersโ Hub Managers from the 7 LGAs of Bauchi North were brought together for a two-day onboarding programme focused on preparing them for the coordination and management of the hubs under the ESTRRA Project.
The onboarding sessions covered hub operations, record keeping, market linkages, financial management, community engagement, data capturing, contract signing and sustainability - equipping the Hub Managers with practical knowledge needed to support farmers and improve service delivery within their communities.
As part of the programme, the Hub Managers also engaged with Rhizosphere Agro Nigeria Limited, where discussions focused on building stronger agricultural networks, improving access to quality inputs, and strengthening support systems around the hubs.
The Access Bank team in Azare, Bauchi State, were also present during the onboarding, supporting the opening of business accounts for the Hub Managers to encourage proper financial tracking, accountability, and structured business operations across the hubs - while also strengthening collaboration and partnership around the ESTRRA Project.
Beyond the sessions themselves, the onboarding created room for collaboration, shared learning, and conversations around building hubs that are not only functional, but sustainable for the communities they serve.
