Ministry of Women Affairs 
In keeping up with the current administration on the promise to create 50 million jobs, expand productive economy, and deliver prosperity to every Nigerian household, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs presents the Women Agro Value Expansion (WAVE) Program, a catalytic initiative designed to empower 10 million Nigerian women across the full agricultural value chain.
Strategic Impact Summary
• 10 Million Women Empowered: WAVE will train and equip women in production, processing, branding, and marketing of agro-products—transforming rural subsistence into competitive agribusiness.
• 50 Million Jobs Created: Each empowered woman is projected to generate 4–5 dependent jobs through cooperative structures, SME creation, transport, packaging, retail, and logistics.
• ₦40 Trillion Injected into the Economy: The value chain expansion, spanning crops, livestock, poultry, aquaculture, and exports, is projected to inject over ₦8 trillion annually into the real economy through increased productivity, SME activity, and consumer spending.
• ₦2 Trillion Boost in Internal Revenue: With structured market linkages, NAFDAC-compliant processing, and formalised cooperative taxation, WAVE is estimated to contribute over ₦2 trillion in IGR through VAT, export duties, MSME taxation, and state revenues within five years.
This initiative touches the grassroots. By reaching 10 million women and impacting their households and communities, WAVE is designed to organically convert economic empowerment into a direct mobilisation of women to champion the attainment of the 1 trillion dollar economy.
What We Seek
The WAVE Program represents more than a policy intervention—it is a nation-building engine.
This is the moment to transform our women from producers of raw crops into global suppliers of branded Nigerian agro-products—backed by your vision, powered by our women, and guided by destiny.
