Leventis Foundation Post Graduate Scholarship for MBA: March 8, 2011

In 1988 the Leventis Foundation Nigeria was established to take over and expand the work of this body. In support of the Federal Government's new Educational Programme with its emphasis on self-sufficiency in food production, the Foundation took a major policy decision in 1986 by choosing as its main goal the training of young farmers in modern agricultural methods.

To date, five schools have been established in Nigeria and Ghana specialising in innovative ways of training small farmers to improve productivity, efficiency and environmental sensitivity, taking advantage of the latest research at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and elsewhere.
