🧑🔬We are proud to introduce Dr. Edore Akpokodje, our Principal Investigator with over 15 years of experience at the National Veterinary Research Institute of Nigeria. Dr. Akpokodje’s work has been instrumental in driving innovative ICT solutions for farmers, including mobile technology and environmental sensors and now he’s leading our efforts to enhance avian influenza awareness among Nigerian smallholder poultry farmers.
As our Principal Investigator, Dr. Akpokodje said: “Poultry is essential for the economy and food security in Nigeria, providing a crucial source of animal protein and vital resources for low-income households. The project aims to improve Nigerian smallholder farmers’ awareness of avian influenza.By offering expert advice, surveillance data, and sharing best practice, the platform seeks to improve disease management and ensure the sustainability of Nigeria's poultry industry, as well as the health of farmers and ecosystems”.
This initiative is more than just research, it’s about empowering farmers with the tools and knowledge they need to protect their livelihoods and secure a better future for their communities.
Join us on this journey to safeguard the health of Nigeria’s poultry sector and its communities! Together, we can make a difference.
