Wow. So many people viewing & no1 has answered your question. Odd.
Yes, you can plant maize & harvest in less than three months.
Most maize varieties available now are ready to harvest in roughly 2 months.
Yield per acre/ hectare depend on (a) variety of seed (b) management ie fertilizer application, rainfall/ irrigation etc.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot sir for your contribution. Please I'll like to know if buying maize seeds for planting from the market would be suitable or do I need to purchase from the seed council. I'm looking at getting maximum yield per acre. Thanks and God bless.

The seed council is better. U'll get more recent varieties & professional advice on management practices.

.

Also try to control rodents. Grasscutters can cause serious damage.
They cut the stems and eat the pulp inside.

Find out from people in the area if grasscutters are prevalent.
