Meet Janet Galadima, a final-year veterinary medicine student at the University of Jos, Plateau State and a contestant in the Project National Schools' Competition.

For Janet, veterinary medicine is about more than treating sick animals. It is about preventing disease, protecting livestock, and improving the lives and livelihoods of the people who depend on them.

In this video, Janet shares her perspective on the challenges affecting ruminant vaccination and the role she hopes to play in building a healthier and more resilient livestock sector as a future veterinarian.

Get to know Janet, hear her ideas, and follow her journey through the competition.

The future of animal health in Nigeria will be shaped by bold ideasā€”and the next generation of veterinarians are ready to be part of the solution.

"I came to Ikore looking for answers. I am leaving with better questions."

David Rosiji shares his most important learning from the Graduate Trainee Programme. In "The Whys to My Whats," he reflects on how his experience at Ikore challenged his understanding of failure, taught him to ask better questions, and helped him see that solving problems requires looking beyond the obvious to understand the systems and people behind them.

Are we measuring what matters for ?

Our latest blog explores how choosing the right indicators can help agricultural programmes move beyond counting activities and outputs to understanding real changes in diets, food security, and nutrition.

Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture starts with asking the right questions.

What changes is an intervention expected to achieve? How will we know if those changes are happening? And are we measuring the right things?
Better outcomes depend not just on collecting data, but on selecting the right indicators to understand what is working, identify gaps, and inform better decisions.

Our latest blog explores how context-specific nutrition indicators can help agricultural programmes turn data into evidence, and evidence into action.

We were pleased to welcome the Special Adviser to the Minister of Livestock Development, Eustace Ayemere Iyayi, for a strategic engagement focused on opportunities to strengthen Nigeriaā€™s livestock sector.

The discussion provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives on key priorities shaping Nigeriaā€™s livestock industry, explore areas of mutual interest, and identify opportunities for strategic collaboration that can contribute to a more productive, resilient, and sustainable livestock industry.

We value the opportunity to engage with key stakeholders and look forward to exploring partnerships that can contribute to livestock productivity, food security, resilient food systems, and sustainable agricultural development in Nigeria.

We are proud to announce that Ikore has been formally inaugurated as a member of Nigeria's National Technical Working Group (NTWG) on Newcastle Disease Control.

The inauguration took place during a two-day workshop convened by the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development - FMLD and GALVmed in Abuja from 3rd to 4th August, 2026. The workshop brought together key stakeholders from Nigeriaā€™s livestock and poultry sectors to help develop a National Strategy for the Control of Newcastle Disease.

Ikore, represented by our technical lead, Gbenga Ariyo, presented key lessons from the EU-funded project, demonstrating how field evidence can inform national strategy and disease control priorities.

The newly inaugurated Working Group is tasked with establishing a unified blueprint for Newcastle Disease control, covering disease surveillance, rapid outbreak response, biosecurity protocols and last-mile vaccine delivery to safeguard Nigeriaā€™s estimated 640 million poultry population.

We are pleased to contribute our experience and evidence from LIDISKI to this important national effort and to support stronger animal health policy and practice in Nigeria.
