The singer’s manager, Efe Omorogbe, who revealed this on Monday, said the business is headquartered in Nigeria and will have branches in Israel and the United Kingdom.
During a live chat with the chief executive of
Nigerian Stock Exchange, Oscar Onyema, at the virtual ringing of the gong to
close the market on Monday, 2Baba stated that the initiative was born out of
the desire to key into the government policy of diversification of the economy
through agriculture and its ancillary businesses.
“We want to create jobs for our youths and empower
our women in order to break the chain of poverty and contribute meaningfully to
the economy. Our target is to empower a minimum of 1,000 youths in each of the
36 States and the FCT by the year 2021,” the UNHCR goodwill ambassador
declared.
He added, “On behalf of the board and management of
INNOBIA, I seek your support and partnership in our bid to achieve the ultimate objective of addressing the issues of food sufficiency and job creation for our
people.”
The singer also spoke about how music can foster
social good and drive change in society. The climax of the live session was the
digital closing gong ceremony of the NSE.
Mr Omorogbe also said the singer began the Innobia
operations months ago in partnership with seasoned local and international
agribusiness experts.
He said the pilot project to engage, train, and
empower 10,000 women and youths in rice and soya beans production is ongoing in
Benue State.
