How Lagos State & Ogbonge Women are Transforming Nigeria’s Food Systems | Oxfam TAP Project

Learn how Oxfam in Nigeria, the Lagos State Government, and the Ogbonge Women Cooperative are breaking systemic barriers to build a 21st-century food system. From budget influence on the Lagos Central Logistics Hub, this is how policy meets the pavement. For too long, the narrative of the Nigerian smallholder farmer was one of poverty and struggle. Through the Together Against Poverty (TAP) Project, we are proving that when women farmers organize, they don’t just grow food, they grow the economy. A Shift in Governance: Hear from Director Oluranti Sagoe-Ovhbo on how strategic engagement with His Excellency Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu led to the direct inclusion of women farmers in the State’s 5-Year Roadmap and 20-Year Masterplan. Rebranding the Farmer: Hon. Commissioner Abisola Olusanya challenges the stereotype, stating, "A woman in the agri sector does not need to look haggard." She explains how the Ministry shifted from supporting "individual silos" to using organized groups like Ogbonge Women as the "yardstick" for state support. Fixing the Downstream: An inside look at the infrastructure solving the distribution crisis, including the Lagos Central Logistics Hub and the "Produce for Lagos" initiative. The Power of Visibility: The impact of the Governor’s support for the Ogbonge Magazine launch and the first-ever women-led agricultural trade fair.
