The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has urged the governors of the six states in the South-West region to inject at least 15 percent of their annual budget into agriculture to provide sustainable food production for the region.


He spoke on Friday during a meeting over the recent protest and strike by the Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria (AUFCDN), leading to the blockade of food items from the North to the South.

He advised South-West governors to adopt the model and expertise employed by Rwanda to transform its agricultural sector.

According to him, investment in agriculture will provide food security, employment, improve IGR, reduce urban congestion, and help farmers build capacity to achieve more productivity through mechanised farming.

He said, “It is embarrassing for the North to threaten our region with an unwarranted blockade that is of no use to us. I have it on good record that the South spends over N8 billion daily on cow consumption.

“It is an embarrassment for the North to think that they are doing the South a favour. I also have figures of the several billions of naira we spend daily on perishable products, but the truth is that the blockade that had been suspended now seemed to be a blessing for us because it will trigger an agricultural revolution in the South-West that will definitely change the ugly narratives of the past.

“So, I think it is the responsibility of all the South-West governors to swiftly respond to this threat and seek a better approach to enhance both small and large scale farming across the region and further strengthen the security architecture of the region.”

That is the reasons while there behave like mini gods

Oga go and sit down.
You are doing all these things just to rival Sunday Igboho when you no get "Igbo" for your name.
We know your price

BTW, next time use SW. You are in this fight with the North alone.
Southern Unity is a scam

If the 8b is spent on poultry and fishes , the employment rate will be staggering

just imagine the amount of money spent on this dullards, that's the reasons we have more herdsmen. if no one from South is patronizing them the business will fold up. cow brains

Closing the southern borders was a deliberate attempt. They closed the borders to boost revenue for Northern farmers.

In a country without database like Nigeria, how did he arrive at the 8B figure?

This is the kind of statement i like hearing

when it comes to religion Nigerians fight for God but when it comes to their rights, they leave it for God to fight for them.

Help me loud it for them, let the babiallah fools hear it ooh. Na who go suffer am, na dem now

From where do we get the ₦8bn from daily?

If they want to boost agric production, then it will be advisable that they ban fulani herdsmen from the entire forest. Because Miyetti Allah will send their cattles to frustrate this effort and will be using our yeye constitution to justify their actions.

Lagos alone kills 8,000 cows every day.

Yewa people in Ogun state have their kit and kin in Benin Republic less than 5 mins drive away. Buhari closed the border so they can't bring food in. But Dangote and BUA from faraway Kano were given permission to import through the closed border in Yewa land.

Go to the Northern borders, still operating like no government there. How much does the Customs service make in the North compared to the South.

And they still free make yanga with their over price cow. Nonsense.
Dem no dey tell madman say journey far, na him leg dey confirm am.

We seriously need to get our brains out of this political peace we are showing.

Hmm...


I think the time is ripe to deamalgamate this failed contraption, separate the moderate, progressive and forward thinking people from the destructive ruthless backward savages

The figure is obviously made up but the South also need to invest more in livestocks.

I would put the estimate at 3billion naira worth of cow, goat, and rams per day.

The amount of "owambe" in Lagos per day should be in the thousands.

All tribes in Nigeria need each other to survive, I and others can now see this with this recent happenings

Of course, Northern borders are always wide open. How were they able to get their foodstuffs to Cameroon and Niger?, but in the South, there's no movement of foodstuffs. Immidiately after the border closure, food prices skyrocketed.

Nonsense talk.

Who calculate the figures.

How did they get the figures.

People will just dish out rubbish statistics.

You said it all, until we wake up from our slumber the north will continue to dominate the south in terms of food security.

*thinking out loud* Just like they created western security network code named amotekun, why can't they start a western economy project?

hmm

why can't they invest d monies on southern delicacies like pig, bush pig or hog, monkeys😄
