The day I made this statement , my mentions was filled with all forms of comment , the most worrying was the vitriol that came with it , most people criticize from a point of nonchalance . I have a question now, how do we survive ? #FoodSecurity

The greatest incidence of poverty is in the women and children in Nigeria , they account for more than 60% of the agricultural workforce in Nigeria and accounts for over 70% of food production in the northern part #NgAgPostCOVID19
The global pandemic will lead to disruption in food production and supplies , we are already seeing produce contracts cancelled , other countries stopping food export permanently . #NgAgPostCOVID19
This is made further worse because the world is right in the middle of the planting season, there will be delays everywhere , there will also be shortages of inputs and price hikes . #NgAgPostCOVID19
We can not despair đŸ˜© even if we choose to , aggressive farm aggregation, commercial mechanized farming is inevitable going forward , we need logistics and service deployment quicker , storage too . #NgAgPostCOVID19
For the records , this is where we are on the global food security index , we are below Niger Republic . This isn’t the time to point fingers , but look for ways and collaborations to ramp up food production #NgAgPostCOVID19
Where do we start from ? 1 Kapital street , the mindset has to change , the policy direction has to be more private sector friendly , one of the issues to mechanization is security ? We can’t have roaming cattle and sheep anymore . #NgAgPostCOVID19
If your state government is looking for how to empower women with skills and knowledge in agriculture and agribusiness, we have training modules spanning 3-6 months , minimum enrollment 500 .DM is open #NgAgPostCOVID19
