Dear Sarnissa Forum Members,
By way of introduction, my name is Tosin Akande and I am a policy analyst, M&E specialist, and development economist with experience in the U.S., U.K., and Nigerian governance, education, and economic development sector. I work as Market Analyst and Intervention Lead for Aquaculture within the DFID funded program Business Innovation Facility (BIF 2 Nigeria Program). We are focusing on the farm-raised catfish sub-sector. Our goal is to improve the functioning’s of the aquaculture market-system in order to bring about increased incomes for large and small aqua enterprises alike, with significant emphasis on small-scale fish farmers across target states in Nigeria. We hope to achieve our objectives through interventions targeting the improvement of fingerlings/juveniles, feed, and processing. I look forward to interacting with you all as the months progress.
Best Regards,
Tosin
