Day 2 of the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 Leventis Foundation Nigeria /FCT Agricultural Training School, Yaba, Abuja, was insightful and inspiring for the two beneficiaries of the 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐅 𝐒𝐎𝐈𝐋 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞.
The day featured presentations, interactive learning sessions, and engagements with representatives of relevant institutions, including the Abuja Enterprise Agency and the Bank of Industry. The sessions exposed the trainees to opportunities for enterprise development, innovation, and sustainable agricultural businesses.

A major highlight was the inspiring engagement with 𝐌𝐫. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐎𝐫𝐣𝐢 𝐌𝐜𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐨 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐀𝐛𝐮𝐣𝐚, who encouraged the students to think beyond agriculture as simply farming. He emphasised agriculture as a platform for solving problems, creating value, embracing innovation, building sustainable enterprises, and contributing positively to society.
The reflective question, “𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒂𝒎 𝑰 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝑳𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒔 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏?”, challenged the trainees to examine their purpose, identify the problems they hope to solve, and consider the meaningful impact they intend to create through agriculture.

RELIF is proud to support the beneficiaries on this important journey and remains committed to empowering young people with practical skills and opportunities that promote youth development, climate-smart agriculture, sustainable livelihoods, and food security.

Day 1 of the orientation introduced the trainees to the institution and prepared them for a successful learning experience. Activities included an introduction to the history of the Leventis Foundation, orientation's ground rules, introduction of staff and trainees, an overview of the available courses and training timetable, interpretation of the school’s rules and regulations, interactive sessions, an experience-sharing presentation by a former trainee, and a tour of the school facilities.

𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙜𝙚𝙚 𝘿𝙖𝙮 2026: 𝙐𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚

On the occasion of World Refugee Day 2026, Resilient Engagement for Livelihoods and Inclusive Foundation (RELIF) participated online in the Zoom event organised by ICVA Network and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, titled “𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙜𝙚𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: 𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙩𝙨 75𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮.” The event created an important space to reflect on the continued relevance of the 1951 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and the urgent need to strengthen global refugee protection.

The 2026 World Refugee day theme, “𝙐𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚,” reminds us that the right to seek safety remains a shared human responsibility. Around the world, conflicts, persecution, insecurity, climate shocks, hunger and economic hardship continue to force millions to flee their homes. Safety must therefore mean more than survival; it must include dignity, protection, opportunity and hope.

For Nigeria, the refugee situation is both a national and global concern. Recent NCFRMI reports indicate that Nigeria hosts about 150,000 refugees from Cameroon, Sudan, Central African Republic and other countries. At the same time, about 145,000 Nigerians are refugees abroad, especially in Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Libya. This shows Nigeria’s dual position as both a host country and a country of origin for people displaced by insecurity and humanitarian crises.

RELIF recognises Nigeria’s commitment to the principle of non-refoulement, which protects refugees and asylum seekers from being forcibly returned to places where their lives or freedom may be at risk. However, beyond receiving and registering displaced persons, greater attention must be given to safe, voluntary and dignified reintegration, especially for Nigerian refugees who wish to return home.

Return should not mean returning to hunger, unemployment, insecurity or exclusion. Refugees, returnees, internally displaced persons and host communities need livelihood support, education, healthcare, psychosocial care, legal protection and community-based reintegration opportunities.

RELIF SOIL Scholars Strengthening Skills for Sustainable Agriculture

As part of the ongoing success of the Resilient Engagement for Livelihoods and Inclusive Foundation (RELIF) Skills for Occupational Independence and Livelihoods (SOIL) Scholarship Programme, beneficiaries of the scholarship were among the trainees who participated in an intensive five-day practical training on compost production, biofertilizers, biostimulants, and sustainable soil health management held at the Leventis Foundation Nigeria Agricultural Training School, Yaba, from 1–5 June 2026.

The training, facilitated by Dr. William Zimmerman, Professor of Environmental Microbiology (USA), equipped participants with practical skills in environmentally friendly farming practices that promote soil fertility, reduce dependence on synthetic inputs, and support climate-smart agricultural production.

This learning opportunity reflects the growing impact of the RELIF SOIL Scholarship Programme in providing rural youths with access to quality agricultural education, practical livelihood skills, and pathways to sustainable economic independence.

Coinciding with World Environment Day 2026, the training also aligns with RELIF's continued advocacy for environmental sustainability through sustainable agriculture, soil restoration, organic waste recycling, climate resilience, and responsible natural resource management.

At RELIF, we remain committed to investing in people, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and supporting agricultural practices that protect the environment while strengthening community resilience.

Practical Agriculture Practical Impact: A RELIF SOIL Programme Journey Series

At RELIF, we believe that sustainable community transformation begins when young people are equipped with practical skills, meaningful opportunities, and the confidence to build better futures.

This practical learning segment captures one of the successful applicants under the RELIF Skills for Occupational Independence and Livelihoods (SOIL) Programme during a routine broiler-feeding session at the Leventis Foundation Nigeria Agricultural Training School, Yaba Abuja Study Centre. The experience demonstrates how hands-on agricultural education can strengthen youth empowerment, livelihood resilience, and sustainable rural development.

Through practical exposure to poultry production, enterprise development, animal management, and modern agricultural techniques, participants are gaining real-life skills capable of improving household livelihoods, strengthening food security, and promoting economic independence within their communities.

This journey also reflects RELIF’s broader commitment to:
✅ Education and Capacity Building
✅ Youth Entrepreneurship and Livelihood Development
✅ Climate-Smart and Sustainable Agriculture

This story is once again a reminder that opportunities become transformative when rural youths are intentionally supported to learn, grow, and lead.

Through the Resilient Engagement for Livelihoods and Inclusive Foundation Skills for Occupational Independence and Livelihoods ( ) Programme, we continue to demonstrate that meaningful development begins by creating access to opportunities for young people in underserved and rural communities.
The interview reflections from beneficiaries participating in the one-year Leventis Foundation (Nigeria) Agricultural Training School Programme reveal more than personal dreams of successes. In this chat one of the candidates reflects on the impact of intentional investment in youth empowerment, mechanized agriculture, livelihood resilience, and inclusive community development.

From Apa Local Government Area to Abuja, these young participants carried with them not only dreams but also the realities of rural communities often affected by unemployment, limited access to skills, and economic vulnerability. Through mentorship, preparation sessions, and guidance support provided under the SOIL Programme, they approached the examination process with greater confidence, purpose, and awareness of modern agribusiness opportunities.

At RELIF, we believe that agriculture is not only a means of food production but also a pathway for dignity, resilience, peacebuilding, and sustainable livelihoods.

As we mark 2026 International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy, RELIF calls for local NGOs' voices to be recognized in leading inclusive partnerships for sustainable peace and lasting global impact.

Disasters don’t just happen — they’re shaped by the systems around us. Risks grow when environmental, social, and governance factors are ignored.

1️⃣ Climate change
Rising temperatures are supercharging hazards — making floods, droughts, and storms more frequent, intense, and unpredictable.

2️⃣ Environmental degradation
When forests are cleared and wetlands drained, we lose nature’s first line of defence against floods, landslides, and coastal surges.

3️⃣ Poverty & inequality
Communities with fewer resources are often forced to live where hazards hit hardest – without safety nets, each disaster deepens inequality.

4️⃣ Poorly planned urban development
Rapid, unregulated growth leaves cities exposed – weak infrastructure and unsafe housing turn hazards into human catastrophes.

5️⃣ Weak governance
When coordination and accountability are missing, disaster prevention and response are ineffective.

💡 Tackling these drivers means tackling risk itself — building resilience that lasts.

At Resilient Engagement for Livelihoods and Inclusive Foundation, our mission centres on community resilience amidst the localization agenda. We aim at empowering communities to define and drive their own development pathways. We work with local actors, especially young people, women's groups, and other vulnerable groups as partners in building resilience and sustainable livelihoods.

Through RELIF's Skills for Occupational Independence and Livelihoods (SOIL) Scholarship, four (4) youths from communities in Ojope District are set to receive capacity-building support and mentorship to gain practical modern and sustainable agricultural skills, strengthen self-reliance, and contribute to locally driven development outcomes.

This chat with a 2025/26 applicant deeply reflects their ambition to turn hidden opportunities into impact while advancing economic empowerment, climate action, and inclusive community growth led by the communities themselves.
