Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>13 students have graduated from Nzara Agricultural Training Center in Western Equatoria state on Tuesday after undergoing four months of intensive training.<\/p>\n

They include 10 men and 3 females.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been for training for four months in general agriculture comprising of 10 subjects including sustainable live hood, farming, livestock, extension beekeeping, agro-business and cooperatives, \u201d said James Mabo who is the founder of the center<\/p>\n

A tutor at the same time, Mabo says, the main aim of the training is to enhance food security in South Sudan<\/p>\n

Mabo believes agriculture is the only way to alleviate poverty and is encouraging South Sudanese to farm to tackle the economy challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur main aim is to enhance food security situation in South Sudan. I think there\u2019s no others means to alleviate the level of poverty except when people go to farming.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe we are encouraging everyone to farm food agriculture inorder for our country to tackle our economy problems.<\/p>\n

The training center graduated a first batch of 68 students in 2019, but according to Mabo, the number has dwindled over the years due to unknown reasons.<\/p>\n

One of today\u2019s graduates, James Martin who is a journalist by profession, is urging the government to prioritize agriculture in the country.<\/p>\n

This is because he said, the government and non-governmental organizations do not adequately support the sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cAm also appealing to our government to support agriculture more than everything, I think that is the biggest and biggest challenge that we face,\u201d he implores.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Alison Mordecai who enrolled in the center due to limited employment opportunities says, the training has transformed him from a job seeker to a job creator.<\/p>\n

\u201d Now I am ready to create my own jobs to plant my crops and take to the market to make more money instead of looking for jobs from the government,\u201d he said.
