New FIPAN president pledges collaboration with stakeholders 

The newly elected President of the Feed Industry Practitioners Association of Nigeria (FIPAN), Dr. Ayoola Oduntan, has pledged to foster collaboration among stakeholders, including farmers, feed producers, financial institutions, and government agencies to create an enabling environment for industry growth.
    
He made this statement during his inaugural address yesterday, in Lagos. Oduntan underscored the importance of international partnerships to boost technological access, innovation and best practices.   Oduntan emphasised that these initiatives are crucial for improving efficiency, reducing costs and elevating the quality of feed produced in Nigeria.
   
“Our commitment is to ensure that every member of FIPAN has the support and resources they need to operate competitively in this challenging business climate,” Dr. Oduntan stated. He also indicated a strategic shift in focus, expanding FIPAN’s efforts beyond poultry feed to provide substantial support for ruminants and swine.

The event was attended by FIPAN members, including pioneering executives, Chinedu Aham-Neze, Dr. Oyedele Oyediji, immediate past President, Raymond Isiadinso, and representatives from the United States (U.S.) Soya feed millers, raw material suppliers, farmers, importers, and other industry stakeholders.
   
Oduntan received commendations for his significant contributions to the sector, particularly in his role as a past President of the Poultry Association of Nigeria, Group Managing Director of Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited, creators of the Noiler bird and producers of natnudO chicken, beef, fish and eggs.
