  42. True that! I served in Benue State between 2012-13, oranges waste their, especially around the Tiv areas. A big bucket of mango is also sold for 1h. Government should focus on Agriculture to help the oil based economy.

  69. It's obviously not just agriculture that needs to be focused on here, but food processing and food preservation. the whole value chain. Orange juice, orange jam, dried oranges, orange peel for aroma production Etc.

  70. This is so so true. Serving in vandeikya LG in Benue and we buy a bucket of orange for 100naira, excess potatoes and yams. I think its time we invest in agriculture, oil isn't all we are blessed with in Nigeria
