The Livelihood Improvement Family Enterprises for Niger-Delta (LIFE-ND) has distributed poultry equipment to 17 youths in Abia.
In a speech at the event on Thursday in Umuahia, the State Project Coordinator, Dr Uchenna Onyeizu, said the items were to help the beneficiaries begin their agribusinesses.
Onyeizu said the beneficiaries, otherwise called incubatees, were among the 250 youths that graduated from the one-year apprenticeship and mentorship programme of the project.
The items included drinkers, feeders and pots for heating up their budding birds.
He said: “This is the second batch among the 250 graduate beneficiaries and we have already done a lot for more than 150 of them.
“We have already supported them to rehabilitate or build poultry houses within their communities.
