Nigeria has the need to reposition agriculture in the country for strategic economic development and sustainable food production purposes. This need, is particularly necessitated by the reality of failure of the mono-commodity economy which the country has hitherto depended on. The nation’s economy becomes gloomy because the value on the sole economic commodity plunged. The current government has often reiterated the need to diversify into agriculture so as to achieve the triple objectives of economic development, employment provision and food security.
