PT: What are the significant challenges you have faced and conquered as a Nigerian fish farmer for over two decades now?My experience in the aquaculture sector is as old as my existence because I was privileged to be born by an old veterinarian father so I grew up virtually on the farm with several animals including fish. The challenges came and appeared to be seemingly insurmountable then but God who gives insight, vision and direction gave solutions to these challenges.
PT: Many people are of the view that fish farming is a revenue spinner that could drive huge productivity in the country’s economy if paid attention to, do you agree with that, and why?Yes, I know many people are of that opinion, but that can only be valid if everything is put in place and all hands are on deck because both the government, private organizations and research institutions have roles to play in order to make that happen.
PT: How many of such fish farms do we currently have in the country, and who are the “big fishermen” in Nigeria? Being that, an FAO report has it that more than 80 per cent of Nigeria’s total domestic production is generated by artisanal small-scale fishers from coastal, inshore, creeks of the Niger Delta, lagoons, inland rivers and lakes.
