Truckspoint to help 1000 youths build capacity in agric value chain

Truckspoint Logistics is offering to help over 1,000 Nigerian youths build capacity on agricultural value chain, ranging from product sales, logistic, and supply to end-users.

This is part of Truckspoint’s activities to mark the 20th anniversary of Datapoint Microsystem, its parent company. Lucky Uduikhue, managing director, Datapoint Microsystems, said the training will be offered both online and physical and will cut- across the whole country.

“As part of the training, we are coming up with a mobile App which is going to be used to allocate and trace farm produce from rural areas to urban cities. This will be made possible through the youths we have trained and with the support of our Truckspoint logistic network which will be used to transport the agricultural produce from rural to urban cities.

“The mobile App will assist accredited participants in the value chain in subscribing to our services from the comfort of their homes,” he said.
