Abuja Associates

I am the Country Managing Director at Farm Alert, and I have been with Farm Alert now for seventeen months. During this time, I have witnessed the incredible growth and transformation of the organization and its people. It has been a journey of meaningful work and professional enrichment.

A memorable project that stood out for me was when the whole team worked together a year ago to draft the standard operating procedure (SOP) manuals for all the different departments in Farm Alert. This project was remarkable because it showcased the uniqueness and strength of each team member. It was inspiring to see everyone bring their skills, insights, and energy to create a comprehensive framework that continues to guide our operations today.

There is no end to the trigger and inspiration for expanded professional development that comes from the push, challenge, inspiration, and encouragement to build capacity and seize opportunities for growth that abound with a CEO like Dr. Kayode Femi. There is always a takeaway tip or lesson after every brief or long meeting with him. His passion for sharing his experiences and learnings leaves me constantly inspired, often thinking, “Oh my God, I’d like to be like the CEO when I grow up.” His leadership creates an environment where growth is not just encouraged but inevitable.

I look forward to seeing us at the forefront of the One Health drive in Nigeria and the African continent at large. Our dedication to innovation and our commitment to making a lasting impact on public and animal health will undoubtedly position Farm Alert as a leader in this crucial area.

Happy 5th Anniversary, Farm Alert, and cheers to many more years and feats!

Grace Ojonide Samuel | Country Managing Director

As Farm Alert celebrates its 5th anniversary on November 26, 2024, I reflect with gratitude on my journey within this incredible organization. I began as a Fulfillment Officer, learning the importance of precise processes in operations. Transitioning to Store Officer, I expanded my knowledge of inventory management and product flow. My return to Fulfillment brought additional responsibilities, marking the start of my transition into technology when I supported our E-Commerce platform.

This shift led to a role in IT support, where I contributed to enhancing our operations through tech solutions. My promotion to Head of Operations for the Abuja Distribution Center provided me the chance to oversee distribution logistics, and I embraced this challenging role, knowing the impact it had on underserved communities.

Eventually, I was honored to become the Chief Technology Officer, integrating my experiences to lead Farm Alert’s tech initiatives. In this role, I focus on driving technological innovation to further our mission of advancing animal healthcare in underserved areas.

Reflecting on my growth, I am immensely grateful for the opportunities and support from our leadership and team, especially Dr. Femi Kayode. I’ve had the privilege of contributing to memorable projects like our due diligence files and the milestone of securing funding for Farm Alert’s next phase of growth.

Looking to the future, I am filled with excitement about our vision to become the leading distributor of animal healthcare products across Africa by 2030. Farm Alert has fostered my professional development and empowered me to contribute meaningfully to a mission that changes lives. I look forward to continuing this journey and helping drive the impact we aim to create.

Thank you, Dr. Femi Kayode, and the entire Farm Alert team, for making this incredible journey possible.

Best regards,

Isaac Wada | Chief Technology Officer

I have gained valuable skills in data analysis, auditing processes, and cross-functional teamwork. This role has also given me a deeper understanding of the agricultural supply chain, an area I am deeply passionate about.

As Farm Alert celebrates its 5th Anniversary on November 26, 2024, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey I’ve had with this organization. Being part of Farm Alert has been a transformative experience—one that has not only shaped my career but also contributed significantly to my personal growth.

My story with Farm Alert began even before its official presence in Abuja. I had the privilege of being one of the pioneers working behind the scenes to lay the foundation for our operations in the region. During that time, I focused on establishing key partnerships, such as with the Police Clinic, as a strategic entry point into the Abuja market. Although it was a challenging period, it was also deeply rewarding, and it culminated in securing a place in Abuja, which has now blossomed into a thriving hub for Farm Alert.

I officially joined Farm Alert as the Media Manager, where I was responsible for managing our online presence, branding, and media-related activities. This role allowed me to bring my creativity to the forefront and help establish Farm Alert’s digital identity. As my journey progressed, I transitioned into the role of Head of Operations for the Abuja branch. This was a pivotal moment, as I took on the responsibility of overseeing day-to-day operations, contributing directly to the growth of our presence in Abuja.

Later, I moved into the position of Vice President, Brands, Marketing, and Corporate Communications, where I helped shape the company’s image and solidify its standing in the industry. I also embraced new challenges as the Logistics and Supply Chain Manager, ensuring the efficient delivery of products and services to our clients, which was key to our operations.

Farm Alert has had a profound impact on my life. The company provided me with a platform to grow, learn, and explore my potential in ways I never imagined. Under the inspiring leadership of Dr. Femi Kayode and with the unwavering support of my colleagues, I have been able to develop skills, gain valuable experience, and build confidence in my abilities. Farm Alert has not just been a workplace—it’s been a family, a place where growth and support go hand in hand.

As I look ahead, I am filled with excitement for the future of Farm Alert. I am committed to contributing to our vision of becoming the leading distributor of essential animal healthcare products to underserved communities across Africa by 2030. Together, we are on the brink of achieving even greater milestones, and I am proud to be part of this journey.

Farm Alert is more than just a company—it’s a mission, a purpose, and a legacy we are building together. I am grateful to be part of this incredible journey and look forward to celebrating many more milestones with the Farm Alert family.

Best regards,

Jeremiah Shiaka | Director Media/Brand

I joined Farm Alert on August 12th, 2022, and it’s been an incredible ride. Growth isn’t always easy, but it’s essential to evolve and achieve greatness. I’ve had to step out of my comfort zone, and it’s been worth it.

My journey from being an accountant to Chief Accountant and now Chief Financial Officer has been remarkable. One of the highlights was working on securing funding from B.I. last year. Although it was a challenging and time-consuming process, our collective efforts paid off, and we received the funding.

Being part of the Farm Alert team has broadened my horizons, enhanced my leadership skills, and helped me envision a brighter future. Professionally, I’ve grown significantly, becoming a chartered accountant and pursuing an MBA. I’m excited to explore more certifications in 2025.

As Farm Alert continues to grow, I’m committed to growing alongside it. I appreciate the leadership and the opportunity to be part of this “family business”.

Thank you for the platform to grow, dare, and thrive. Cheers to the next 5 years!

Best regards,

Blessing Onaolapo, ACA | Chief Financial Officer

A year ago, I embarked on a journey that would change the trajectory of my life. It began with an unexpected surprise: winning the Outlier Award. This honor led me to an internship at Farm Alert, a place I knew little about. On August 28th, 2023, I ventured into the bustling city of Abuja, eager to explore new horizons. Little did I know that this internship would become a catalyst for personal and professional growth. As I immersed myself in the dynamic world of Farm Alert, I discovered hidden talents and passions that I never knew existed.

My journey began in the Media team, where I honed my skills in content creation. I produced engaging articles, social media posts, and videos on a wide range of animal health topics. From exploring the intricacies of livestock farming to highlighting the challenges faced by smallholder farmers, I found immense satisfaction in sharing knowledge and inspiring others.

One of my most memorable experiences was moderating my first Aspire Mentorship Program. It was a daunting task, but with the support of my colleagues, I successfully guided a group of aspiring young professionals. This experience boosted my confidence and taught me the importance of effective communication and leadership. During my time at the Partnership and Growth team, I faced a challenging task: selling 1,000 vaccines. Despite the initial setback of selling only one, I persevered. This experience taught me the value of resilience and the importance of never giving up.

Even after my internship ended, Farm Alert remained a second home to me. The warm and supportive environment, coupled with the mentorship of Dr. Kayode, made me feel like part of a family. I continued to engage with the organization, participating in various projects and events. In February 2024, I was thrilled to join Farm Alert as a full-time employee. My first major project was the Tecla Program, which I successfully executed, gaining valuable experience in event planning and program management.

Over the past year, I have had the privilege of contributing to numerous initiatives. I have mentored aspiring professionals through the Aspire Program, conducted training sessions for university students, and created informative content on animal health. I have also been involved in awareness campaigns, community outreach programs, and farm visits. One of the most impactful projects I have worked on is the Eggs of Hope Initiative. This initiative aims to address malnutrition among vulnerable children by distributing eggs. I played a key role in planning and executing the launch event, as well as coordinating the distribution of eggs to schools, communities, and orphanages.

Through my hard work and dedication, I was promoted to Community Engagement Manager. In this role, I have spearheaded various initiatives, including a rabies awareness campaign and a collaborative project with the CDS Group. I have also forged strong partnerships with government agencies and other organizations to advance Farm Alert’s mission.

As I reflect on my journey at Farm Alert, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunities and experiences that have shaped me. I am excited to continue growing and making a positive impact on the world of animal health. Farm Alert is more than just a workplace; it is a place where I can be myself, learn, and thrive.

Best regards,

Dr. Zainab Abdullahi Biu | Community Engagement Manager

Joining Farm Alert in May 2024 was initially a strange experience for me. However, everything changed as I began meeting partners during visitations and receiving positive feedback, which made me truly connect with Farm Alert’s vision. The monthly review meetings with our CEO, Dr. Femi Kayode, further inspired me. These sessions instilled a strong sense of purpose in building the brand towards better distribution of animal healthcare.

Six months later, as the name “Partnership and Growth” suggests, I’ve never stopped putting my heart and soul into making our organization’s vision and dreams a reality. Farm Alert is on my mind constantly — I wake up and sleep with ideas to contribute to our shared goals.

Dr. Femi Kayode has become my role model. His belief that “nothing is impossible” resonates deeply with me, and I’ve seen him achieve remarkable things. Farm Alert has significantly transformed my life, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with amazing people like Dr. Nancy, Dr. Elizabeth, Mrs. Ij, Tony, Mr. Richard, and, most importantly, the Country Management Director, who is not only the head of our team but means everything to me.

I occupy the Partnership and Growth Manager position and I began working with Farm Alert In June 2024.

The first memorable moment was the love and support I received from other members of staff of the company the first day i resumed. Asides expecting to see an office setting, everyone was so friendly and supportive. Also Dr Femi’s words of wisdom day in day out always strike and cut deep into the soul. Always edging deep into the mind and always keeps me on our toes inspiring me to be a much better person daily. He’s more than an inspiration to me. He’s a Father to me. He embodies true leadership and Fatherhood.

The Anti-rabies Campaign, The Aqua tabs Ad, The Eggs of Hope Launch, the trip to Jos amongst others are memorable moments that have and will always stand out in my experience with Farm Alert.

Working with Farm Alert especially in the Partnership and Growth Department has helped me hone my skills in sales, communication, interpersonal relationships, and has challenged what I thought I knew. I’ve been able to learn, unlearn and relearn so many skulls such as communication, interpersonal relationship, how to close deals and working with Farm Alert has given me another view about life that inspires me to always strive to be a better person regardless of what it is I do daily.

I look forward to us achieving more milestones, seeing our vision come to fruition, expanding more and more in Africa, becoming a unicorn in the industry and becoming a company the global veterinary community will never be able to do without

This journey has been transformative, filled with opportunities to contribute to our company’s growth and shape my career. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Kayode Femi, our visionary CEO, whose guidance and encouragement have been instrumental in my development.

My name is Akaabo Emmanuel, and I am currently an Internal Audit Officer at Farm Alert. I joined this remarkable organization on November 23rd, 2022, and it has been an incredible journey ever since.

One of my proudest accomplishments was creating the first-ever Inventory Audit Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Farm Alert. This initiative laid a foundation for improved efficiency and accuracy in inventory management. Additionally, I successfully implemented a warehouse organization system using layouts and proper stacking methods to enhance operations.

During my tenure, I also had the unique opportunity to manage the Logistics Department for a short period while overseeing the Audit Department. It was a challenging yet fulfilling experience that broadened my understanding of cross-departmental operations. Another highlight was contributing to the setup of the Kano Mega Center—a milestone that demonstrated Farm Alert’s commitment to growth and innovation.

One of the most memorable projects for me was Mission Penetrate. As part of this initiative, we were divided into teams and ventured into various locations across Abuja to identify and connect with new customers. The camaraderie, determination, and success of this project made it an unforgettable experience.

Working at Farm Alert has been both educative and enjoyable. It has allowed me to utilize my existing knowledge while gaining new skills and insights in my profession and personal life. The growth I have experienced—both professionally and personally—has been profound, and I am proud to say that I am not the same person who joined Farm Alert; I have evolved in ways that are too numerous to list.

I am Okpeh Joseph Owoicho, and my journey with Farm Alert began on May 2, 2024, when I joined as a Fulfillment Officer at the Kano branch. In just seven months, my experience at Farm Alert has been nothing short of remarkable. Every day is an opportunity for growth, learning, and exciting challenges, surrounded by a team whose sense of unity and collaboration is truly inspiring.

From the start, I had the privilege of being part of something extraordinary—helping to establish the Kano center.

I still vividly recall the energy and anticipation leading up to the grand opening on September 10, 2024. Watching our efforts come to fruition that day was an unforgettable milestone.

Among the many enriching experiences, our Growth Thursday meetings stand out. These sessions were more than just meetings; they were opportunities to reflect, learn, and collectively work toward personal and organizational development. Another highlight was the Farmers’ Awareness Program on Animal Health, which we organized on September 28, 2024.

Farm Alert has not only shaped my career but also contributed immensely to my personal growth. I have developed a deeper understanding of customer and human relationship management, honing skills that have transformed the way I approach challenges.

Farm Alert has motivated me to prioritize continuous learning, whether by exploring new sales software tools or reading books that strengthen my mental and professional capacity. Time management has become second nature, a skill that ensures I consistently deliver quality results.

I am Olojede Olaoluwa Oluwafemi, the Store Manager at Farm Alert Ibadan Distribution Center. Joining Farm Alert has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and if given the chance, I would choose it over and over again. Working here means being surrounded by great minds, a supportive work environment, and forward-thinking projections.

Farm Alert has also been instrumental in sharpening my data analysis skills, a gift I hold dear. The deliberate actions taken by our leaders to foster individual growth—such as Growth Thursdays, Center Monday Meetings, and retreats—have broadened my perspective and helped me develop both personally and professionally.

As I look ahead, I see a bright future for Farm Alert. I eagerly anticipate the time when the organization reaches the global stage, standing tall with excellence, influence, and unparalleled productivity. It’s only a matter of time before the vision of our CEO is fully realized, and until then, we will continue to press forward with dedication and purpose.

My name is Mr. Otene Elaigwu, currently serving as an officer in the Partnership and Growth Department at Farm Alert. I joined Farm Alert on August 1, 2022, starting my journey at Epe, Lagos State. Initially, I worked as an Internal Auditor, overseeing the three retail arms of Farm Alert in Lagos.

Over time, my roles expanded and evolved. I transitioned to a Supply Chain Officer, then to a Fulfillment Officer, and later moved to the Marketing Department, now known as the Partnership and Growth Department. Currently, I hold the position of Partnership and Growth Officer, balancing both Marketing and Fulfillment responsibilities until a new Fulfillment Officer is employed, allowing me to focus solely on Marketing.

Looking back, there have been countless standout memories and projects during my time at Farm Alert. A few that stand out include:

• The impactful training sessions led by our CEO at the Elekko retail outlet in Lagos, as well as the insightful lectures during the end-of-month reviews.
• Last year’s end-of-the-year retreat, which left me refreshed and brimming with valuable lessons from the teachings and activities.
• Growth Thursdays and the books assigned by the CEO for us to read and review, which have greatly expanded my knowledge and perspective.
• The remarkable project of starting the Ibadan branch alongside the CEO and Mrs. Olaitan. Being part of this initiative from its inception and witnessing its growth fills me with immense pride and joy. Reflecting on where the branch started and where it is today inspires me to continue striving for excellence.

As a professionally trained graduate in Business Administration and Management, working at Farm Alert feels like being a fish in water. It provides me with the perfect environment to practice what I studied and fulfill my dream of being a business professional. Although I’m still on my journey to achieving my ultimate goals, I find great satisfaction in being part of an organization that aligns with my aspirations and equips me for the future.

I am committed to giving my best to ensure Farm Alert continues to move forward and thrive. My vision is to become a pillar, a ladder, and a voice within the organization—a fully grown and successful employee contributing to Farm Alert’s remarkable legacy.

The future of Farm Alert is bright and boundless, and I am honored to be part of its journey.

I am currently the Head of Operations at the Farm Alert Gembu branch, having been with the organization for one year and five months. My journey with Farm Alert has been nothing short of transformative. Serving in various roles, including Partnership and Growth Manager, Store Manager, and training women on how to raise Noiler birds, has been a standout experience. These projects have deeply impacted me, especially the hands-on approach with the communities we serve.

As a Veterinary Doctor, Farm Alert has provided me with the perfect platform to hone my skills, engage in practical fieldwork, and offer valuable advice to farmers during treatment sessions. This hands-on practice has been incredibly rewarding and aligns with my professional growth.

Looking ahead, I am confident that with the shared vision and commitment, we will achieve our goal of becoming the number one animal healthcare brand in Africa by 2030. I am proud to be part of this journey and excited for the future of Farm Alert.

My journey with Farm Alert is a story of passion, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. It began just two days before my induction into the veterinary profession, when I first heard about the Pioneer Outlier Award for Leadership in Veterinary Schools—an initiative by Farm Alert. The moment I learned about the award, I boldly declared to myself, “This is my award. There’s nothing normal about me, and I am meant for greatness.”

Fate affirmed my determination, and I was honored with the prestigious award. That recognition not only validated my hard work but ignited a profound sense of purpose and responsibility. It was my first encounter with Farm Alert, but it was just the beginning of an extraordinary journey.

With my sights set on making a meaningful impact, I eagerly began a one-month internship with Farm Alert. I embraced every task with enthusiasm, driven by an insatiable desire to learn and grow. During a conversation with the CEO, when asked about my aspirations, I confidently said, “I want to be like you or something more than you.” That declaration wasn’t just a dream—it was my promise to myself.

After the internship, I was offered a full-time position. However, just a month into the role, I faced a significant challenge: the CEO doubted my ability to deliver results. It was a defining moment in my career—a moment that demanded transformation. I took it as a challenge to become a results-driven, proactive individual. Determined to prove myself, I adopted a mindset focused on innovation, accountability, and resilience. With unwavering commitment, I began delivering results that exceeded expectations.

Over the next 2 years and 9 months, I transitioned through various roles, each bringing new opportunities for growth: Customer Satisfaction Officer, Partnership and Growth Officer, and Community Engagement Specialist. These experiences sharpened my skills, expanded my knowledge, and deepened my passion for the industry.

Today, as the Chief Partnership and Growth Officer at Farm Alert, I reflect with pride on a journey that has been both challenging and rewarding. I have learned the importance of resilience, adaptability, and innovative thinking. Most importantly, I have become a leader focused on creating solutions and driving positive change. Farm Alert is more than a company—it’s a legacy in the making. It’s a brand I wear with pride and a vision I am deeply committed to. Watching Farm Alert celebrate its 5th Anniversary fills me with immense gratitude. This remarkable milestone is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and passion that defines our team.

Looking ahead, I am excited about what the future holds. Farm Alert is on a trajectory to becoming the leading brand in the veterinary industry across Africa by 2030. I am honored to be part of this journey and look forward to contributing to the next chapter of growth, resilience, and impact.

Here’s to 5 years of success—and to the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.

This year, I was allowed to be the Team Lead for Customer Service Relations. As I reflect on my two-year journey with Farm Alert, I am reminded of fond memories and filled with gratitude. Coincidentally, 26 November was the day I got my offer letter, and it has been a very interesting journey.

My most memorable projects or moments are our End-of-Year Retreat, Women’s Day celebration, and a Friday when we didn’t have to work but came to the office to celebrate Mrs Margaret Kayode’s birthday. These moments stood out for me because they showed me how resilient and united we are towards a cause. These events showcased the compassion, empathy, love, and Friendship that define our team.

Working with Farm Alert has allowed me to grow and learn under various Tutelage. Key persons include Mrs. Ijeoma, Ms. Naomi, Ms. Ruth, Ms. Blessing, Dr. Nancy and Mr Isaac. With them, I’ve learned quite a lot, ranging from emotional intelligence to personal growth and professional development. Let’s not forget financial management.

What I look forward to in the future of Farm Alert would be more expansions, better facilities, and of course top-notch Staff welfare. More Empathy and Innovations as we dominate the Animal Health Industry and the World at large, one City at a time.

My hope is that people will come to associate Farm Alert with top-notch solutions and that our impact will extend far beyond our immediate community.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
