President-elect, General Mohammadu Buhari has been called upon to set up
modalities that would encourage effective youth participation in agriculture, NaijaAgroNet reports.
NaijaAgroNet learnt that this call was made by an economist, Mr. Okechukwu Unegbu, on
Thursday during an interview session with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said that
there is much attention given to oil, as such, ignoring other sectors which
would have increased the productive economy of the nation.
“This country has so much in terms of solid minerals and agriculture
but because oil was bringing in cheap money, we decided to close our eyes to
those areas. The government should fashion out a course whereby we will get
away from depending sorely on oil.’’
NaijaAgroNet gathered
that he further advised the incoming government to speed up actions that would
cub corruption in the country. Unegbu noted that corruption was one of the
major causes of most of the sufferings faced by Nigerians and should be the
main focus of the new government.
