It can. I believe you can also buy the seeds in Nigeria. A while ago a cattle farmer in Nassarawa state did offered to sell me the seeds, but I was not interested. Why do u need Alfalfa, if you dont mind me asking?

That's dairy cattle best feed. Plan to start a dairy coy and you and I know ( from your comments on this thread. https://www.nairaland.com/1812127/cattle-fattening-goat-farming-dairy.) that dairy cows need to be fed well to produce a required quantity and quality of milk.

Can it grow in Akwa Ibom State?

Alfalfa is good, its known for its high energy value which also support milk production. I'm sure it'll grow there. FYI, there are forages out there which are equally good, if not better. It'll help to find out the nutritional values of forages that are readily available in your area. Example, Maize (silage/forage) in terms of high milk yield, is better.

I could have gotten it but I suspended the cattle business. Damn expensive and it is best managed as a cooperative instead of one man's business.

Call for alfalfa seed 080 three five 9 six 5 four o5

The rainning season is gradually whinning down, very soon everywhere will become dry. Have you made provision for your livestock? Know this! A well fed animal attracts premium price, festivals are around the corner.
Plant alfalfa seeds now so they can establish before the weather becomes harsh and you will have to do more work to make them grow well.
