Why Identify With Us?
The importance of food can’t be over-emphasized. It’s also important lubricate the engine that produces the food so it doesn’t break down.
We at SEFFA have taken it upon ourselves to improve agricultural practices in Africa and to alleviate poverty amongst farmers
We at this stage have achieved a lot of feats that is open for everyone to see:
Best practice Aquaculture training programmes nationwide, greenhouse technology for climate change, 124 fishermen and 16 women fish processors were assisted after the flood 2012 in 5 communities in Lokoja in December 2013, etc.
SEFFA has been doing great things for more than a decade. We have been in the industry since 2007 and with the level of growth we have experienced through these years, we will keep creating a better environment for everyone for decades and centuries to come.
We provide financial and/or technical assistance to community – generated conservation and management initiatives, i.e., initiatives that start from the ground up.
We build partnerships between the public and private sector, and between the government and local communities.
This project is a symbiosis for fisheries, agriculture and environmental development using solar energy production which will be highly beneficial to such communities.
These villages will generate their own power and left over energies can be sold to other areas around.
Integrity is our watchword at Seffa. We make the most frugal use of all the resources we are able to garner, ensuring that each input brings forth the most efficient output.
