Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, says Nigeria will have to increase its input in farming or risk facing her citizens starve to death by 2050. Ogbeh said this during the defence of the Ministry of Agriculture's 2016 budget before the senate committee on Agriculture yesterday February 4th.
"We have written to state governments to encourage them to develop dams and canals so that agriculture becomes an all year round activity and it is not confined to the rainy season alone.
Besides, by 2050, Nigeria population will be very close to 500 million at the current rate of growth. This is just 34 years from now. If we carry on at the current rate of one crop per year, with very low mechanization, Nigerians run the risk of starving to death”he said

We really need to improve in agriculture to start producing most edible crops....but most importantly, its just to employ one's initiative into knowing †Ñ’ξ exact thing to even produce. I don't just know but we need this, we really do

Yes the trained youths in that field are willing, but is the government officials willing to buy our produce, haven't you noticed that government officials prefer imported good to locally made goods, take a look at thier waste bin and see for yourself. the little we have been producing are they patronizing. SMH.

Talk Talk Talk, and nothing is being done to change things for the better. If Agriculture is the way forward, then the government should act fast instead of over analysing the bad things. Na wa ooo
