Ikonne said the entry of the trainees into the Nigerian agricultural system would correct the anomalies of non-soil testing and address other issues associated with soil testing and food quality.
He said the two weeks intensive exercise was organised by NALDA in collaboration with the Borno Government.
The trainees comprised graduates with Agriculture and Science related educational backgrounds as well as members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
They were trained in areas of soil sample collection, soil testing as well as extension services.
