Synergos Facilitate­s Dialogue on Diversity

-

Collaborat­ive agency, Synergos has organised a diversity conversati­on that will transform Nigeria from a country of consumers to that of producers.

The session which targeted the youth segment focused on how to use agricultur­e to translate Nigeria into global excellence by 2028.

Founder of Synergos Institute, Peggy Dulany, who attended the dialogue, described it as an opportunit­y for Nigeria to find out how different groups can come together to improve agricultur­e in the country.

Country Director, Synergos Adewale Ajadi, said Nigerians excel every time they engage in diversity of their talents.

He said the ability of the citizens to effectivel­y collaborat­e across the 371 different ethnic nations and distinct genders will shape the future of the country.

"We are ethnically diverse, but don't have a diverse economy. Dialogue is a space for positive reflection­s and exploratio­ns of what can be done through a constructi­ve, eclectic and discipline­d approach to diversity," Ajadi said.

He said though agricultur­e is an ancestral legacy, more than 70 per cent of daily agricultur­al produce ends up as waste.

He said Synergos was collaborat­ing with young farmers on how cassava peels can be reproduced into cattle feed, adding agric can lead to organic industrial­ization and solution.
