Quote:

“The political will of African leaders on

the vital issue of agriculture is

questioned. Otherwise, how do we

explain a situation where, for example

in Nigeria, about 70% of its people are

engaged in agriculture, that still

contributes up to 40% of the GDP, yet

only 2% of the Federal Budget is

allocated to agriculture and related

development.”

Long healthy life depends on these. Eat them as often as your ‘pocket’ can allow and

your zest improves. Go! Do so daily

Soils need much help because only 15 % of Nigerian soils do not require manures and

fertilisers to grow staple food crops well
