Farmergiant Limited, one of Nigeria’s foremost agricultural service and equipment companies, has marked the nation’s 65th Independence anniversary with a symbolic triple celebration in Ibadan.
The company unveiled its new corporate logo, hoisted a giant Nigerian flag, and commissioned its permanent headquarters at Km 6, Abeokuta Road, Apata, Ibadan, on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Farmergiant, Dr. Adoyi Paul Oche, described the events as a demonstration of both patriotism and progress. He explained that the hoisting of a giant national flag was not just ceremonial, but a deliberate act to honour Nigeria at 65.
“This programme was put in place first to celebrate Nigeria at 65. We decided to honour our nation by hoisting a big flag as a symbol of patriotism because Nigeria has done so much for us, and we felt it was time to give back. At the same time, God has helped us to move to our permanent site, our head office, and we are unveiling a new logo to show how progressive we are. These three events represent Nigeria’s progress and our own growth as a company committed to serving customers better,” he said.
Tracing the company’s journey, Dr. Oche revealed that while Farmergiant has been formally registered for 13 years, its roots date back over two decades. With a background in veterinary medicine and a family heritage in farming and entrepreneurship, he noted that the company was built not only to operate farms but also to provide consultancy and engineering solutions tailored to Nigeria’s agricultural realities.
“We are more than farmers. We provide consultancy services, set up farms, plan surveys, and run poultry, piggery, and crop farms, including plantain and cassava. Beyond farming, we are manufacturers. Farmergiant is the largest poultry incubator manufacturer in Nigeria. Our incubators are designed for the local environment, efficient even with minimal power supply, and range from 500 to 33,000 capacity per unit. Unlike imports from China or Europe, these machines are made to meet Nigerian farmers’ realities,” he explained.
Farmergiant’s operations extend beyond incubators to the production of feed processing machines, palm oil mills, and cassava processing units.
“If it has to do with agricultural engineering, we are positioned to develop it for the Nigerian market,” Dr. Oche emphasized.
However, he called for stronger government action to bridge the gap between policy and practice in agriculture.
“Over time, Nigeria has always had very good policies for agriculture, free tariffs on certain imports, prohibition lists for poultry products, and supportive programmes like Anchor Borrowers. But the problem is implementation. If the government can empower enforcement agencies, ensure funds reach beneficiaries, and strengthen the judiciary to back up these policies, agriculture will move much faster,” he stressed.
Staff members also shared their experiences, highlighting the company’s role in empowering people. Ayomiposi Salami, the Sales Manager, said he rose from being a farm attendant to his current position after nine years at Farmergiant.
“Many people who worked with us have gone on to establish their own farms and businesses. Farmergiant empowers, trains, consults, and supports farmers, making it one of the best in Nigeria,” Salami noted.
Similarly, Engineer Jude Iyoko of the technical team praised the company’s innovative culture. He said Farmergiant’s engineering unit continues to push boundaries by designing machines that reduce costs, increase efficiency, and position Nigerian farmers to compete globally.
The commissioning of the new office was attended by staff, partners, clients, and community members.
