FOOD PRODUCTION: MINISTER LAUDS DANGOTE CEMENT OVER FARMERS’ EMPOWERMENT
FOOD PRODUCTION: MINISTER LAUDS DANGOTE CEMENT OVER FARMERS’ EMPOWERMENT
..As Ibese Plant donates farming inputs to host community farmers
Minister of Solid Mineral Development, Mr. Dele Alake has lauded the management of Dangote Cement, Ibese for its contributions to the development of its host communities saying its many social investments have succeeded in fostering economic development and social cohesion in the communities.
The Minister who spoke through the Mines and Environment Compliance Officer for the South West in the Ministry, Mr. Mathew Ochimana during the handover of farm inputs to Ibese Host Communities’ Farmers on the occasion of the 2025 Farmers Empowerment Programme said the Cement Company has through its Corporate Social Responsibility such as the empowerment programmes, stimulated local economies, created jobs, support local businesses and enhanced community infrastructure.
Mr. Ochimana urged the farmers to make the best use of the farm inputs to boost food production and warned them to avoid the temptation to sell them as doing so would defeat the essence of giving them the items and would also run counter-productive to efforts at boosting food production within the communities.
Welcoming the farmers earlier, the Dangote Cement, Ibese Plant Director, Ayyagari Subbaraidu, reiterated the company’s commitment to empowering the farmers as a critical segment of the population with farming inputs support in order to boost food production.
Said he; “We provide modern farm inputs to help farmers enhance their productivity, enabling them to consistently cultivate both subsistence and cash crops at commercial scale. These inputs are donated to support better yields and offer a more modern, efficient farming experience.”
Besides the empowerment programme for farmers themed “Planting to Profit: Good Agricultural Practices for Cassava and Maize”, the Plant Director said Dangote Cement is focused on creating positive impacts within its host communities by prioritising health, quality education, empowerment, and the provision of critical infrastructure to drive socio-economic development.
Subbaraidu noted that “with the support of our stakeholders, some of whom are also here, we have achieved remarkable milestones, demonstrating that every limestone mined and every bag of cement manufactured comes with proportionate social value addition and support to the host communities.
“In the course of implementing the current Community Development Agreement signed in 2022, 240 farmers across our host communities have been empowered through training, farm inputs, and tools, contributing to the cultivation of over 600 acres of farmland and significantly boosting the local economy.”
To cap Dangote Cement’s commitment to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the farmers for enhanced food security, and increased revenue across the agricultural value chain, Subbaraidu said that each of the beneficiaries will go home: with 3 bags of 50kg NPK fertilizer; 2 bags Urea fertilizer; 3 litres of Force-Up herbicide; 1 raincoat and 1 pair of rain boots.
“To all our community stakeholders, we say a big thank you for your invaluable collaboration in creating an enabling environment for our business to thrive. Indeed, it takes strong partnerships between the Plant and the communities to achieve socio-economic progress,” the Plant Director said.
Also speaking, the Chairman of Yewa South Local Government, Olusola Akinbode, commended Dangote Cement for always rising to the occasion and he expressed satisfaction with the timely intervention and commitment of the company to community development.
He pointed out that the farmers’ empowerment programme is in tandem with the initiative of the Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun’s drive to ensure food security in the state. “One of our targets is to ensure food sufficiency in the state; we did our own farmers’ empowerment in June and we distributed 11,000 cash crops, we are promising to up the number to at least 60,000 in 2026.
“Imagine if we have this and Dangote is supporting us with fertiliser, and other farm tools, very soon, Yewa will become a food basket to others.”
In his remark, the Chairman of Community Joint Consultative Committee (CJCC) Dayo Ogunyinka, expessed satisfaction that the programme in its fourth edition has been very impactful describing it as a perfect intervention towards food security and economic growth. He thanked the Dangote Cement for reaching out to the grassroot whom he described as the centre of community development.
One of the farmer beneficiaries, Iyabo Akintan from Ijako Orile host Community appreciated the company for always coming through for local farmers. She stated that “This will bring upliftment and a better farming experience with gains to the society.”
Another beneficiary, Olaleye Adekunle, described the gesture as “soothing and moral boosting” for farmers. “With the provision of fertilisers and other farm tools, working during rain and shine is now a possibility and we are really grateful that Dangote Cement, Ibese, has our interest at heart.”
The beneficiaries were later taken through a session to educate them on how to make the best use of the inputs for maximum farm yields.

VISIONS FROM THE MOST HIGH GOD ABOUT NIGERIA AND PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU: EVANGELIST/HON. OMOTOSO ISSUES PROPHETIC DIRECTIVES AHEAD OF 2027 ELECTION
*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: VISIONS FROM THE MOST HIGH GOD ABOUT NIGERIA AND PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU:
EVANGELIST/HON. OMOTOSO ISSUES PROPHETIC DIRECTIVES AHEAD OF 2027 ELECTION*
Evangelist/Hon. Omotoso, National President of the ODUDUWA Integrity Association and described as a spiritual father, has released what he terms “visions from the Most High God” concerning Nigeria and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term bid.
In a statement issued in a press conference organises by Evangelist Omotoso. He made public series of revelations that are relevant to President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign. According to him, President Tinubu will win the forthcoming presidential election with approximately 15 million votes.
He further stated that opposition elements will attempt to “cause trouble in Nigeria and cry foul” following the outcome, but declared that such efforts would be “like shaft before the winds” — ineffective against what he described as a divinely backed mandate.
*“Lost Glory Restored” Vision*
Recounting one of the visions, Evangelist Omotoso said: “The lost glory of about 35 years in Nigeria has been returned as of 7/12/2025. In the revelation, President Tinubu himself asked me, saying all the vehicles he wants to ride are not moving. I saw him jump on one and I pushed it for him, and it started — _Huumuuuuu_ — and continued working, and the President started riding.”
He interpreted this as a sign that President Tinubu will “start a new Nigeria” and that opposition forces will not prevail.
*Direct Message to President Tinubu*
Delivering what he called a direct instruction from God to the President, Evangelist/Hon. Omotoso stated: “President Tinubu should go and release Nnamdi Kanu now if he wants to sustain and enjoy his re-election.”
He added that obedience to this directive is tied to the stability and longevity of the coming administration.
The ODUDUWA Integrity Association said it is making these revelations public in the interest of national peace, spiritual guidance, and political stability as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
Trump, Iran, and Prophecy: Prophet Aitafo’s Words Resurface Amid Global Tensions
OGUN STATE – In a climate of rising global tension and political shifts, the prophetic utterances of Evangelist Aitafo Oladapo Kingsley, leader of Oneness in Christ Ministry, have become a focal point for believers and skeptics alike. Recent headlines involving international security and the safety of global leaders appear to align with a series of “visions” released by the ministry earlier this spring.
The “Vision” on the Global Stage
In mid-March and early April, Kingsley’s ministry released specific prophetic points that have since gained traction on social media. Most notable was a directive to pray for Donald Trump, with the prophet claiming a vision regarding an attempt on the former U.S. President’s life.
”Let’s pray for Donald Trump with prayers cos it won’t end his life or tenure,” the March 15th post stated, alongside a specific plea for the President of the United States to be “protected from every danger and any plan against his life.”
Following recent security breaches and reported threats against high-profile political figures in the West, followers of the “Oneness in Christ” movement are pointing to these documents as proof of divine insight. The prophecy also touched upon the conflict between the USA, Iran, and Israel, suggesting that while tensions would flare, they would not escalate into a world-ending Third World War.
”This Jesus Christ is Alive”: The 3-Day Revival
Against the backdrop of these fulfilled “visions,” the ministry is preparing for a massive spiritual gathering. The “3 Days Open Revival,” themed “This Jesus Christ is Alive” (based on Revelation 1:18), is set to take place in Sango, Ogun State.
Event Details:
Dates: April 28th, 29th, and 30th, 2026.
Time: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM Daily.
Location: 20 Showole Street, Ewupe Singer Sango, Ogun State.
Lead Minister: Evangelist Norton Adeyemi, alongside guest ministers and the primary visionary, Aitafo Oladapo Kingsley.
The event promises a mix of evangelism and musical ministration featuring “Gbemi Dynamics,” “Irenise,” and “Starinola.”
As the revival date approaches, many are expected to flock to the Ewupe Singer venue, seeking not just spiritual renewal, but perhaps a glimpse into what the prophet sees next for a world that seems increasingly unpredictable.
