Why local food production is inevitable with rising population – Alhaji Zanna vanguardngr.com vanguardnews

Any nation that cannot feed itself has no business existing. It is said that a hungry man is an angry man so a nation filled with angry people is bound to be in crisis continually. Recently, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Lamido Sanusi and Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, warned against hunger and poverty in the land, urging the Government to take urgent steps to address them.

In 1984, a bag of wheat was about N14; I don’t know how much a bag of flour is today but you get 1.5 to two bags of flour from a bag of wheat. Now, since we can’t afford the foreign exchange, we should utilise the money in other areas. We can produce wheat locally because in the long run, whether we like it or not, with our population growth and everything, we have to start producing these things locally and the facilities are there.

We will transfer less than one per cent of water from the Congo River into Lake Chad and once it picks up, we stop. It is not a continuous thing unless of course, the activities within the lake become so much that we may need a transfer of water on a continuous basis. The advantage of getting that lake working is for the fishery. Lake Chad has freshwater fish.We tried sunflower. We got the seeds from Egypt and the yield was much better than what they were getting in Egypt.
