BENIN CITY – GOVERNOR Godwin Obaseki of Edo
State and the National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie
Oyegun, were Tuesday received awards from the
Association of Deans of Agriculture of Nigeria
Universities (ADAN) for their contribution to the
development of agriculture in the country.

This comes as the National Chairman of the APC,
attributed the current recession hitting the nation
as the handiwork of God, acknowledging that the
situation has forced government at all levels to
invest into agricultural asserting that the nation
will be one of the biggest exporters of farm
produce in the next two years.

He disclosed this at the 61st Annual General
Meeting of ADAN, which held at the University of
Benin (UNIBEN). According to Chief Oyegun, “I
want to emphasis that the APC is totally
committed in developing agriculture as the back
bone of the Nigerian economy. A lot of ideas have
been thrown out, there is no country on the planet
that does not subsidize agriculture. So we have
been living in this fool’s paradise that government
does not subsidize agriculture for its people.

“United States of America which is the greatest
economic power, guarantees and pays farmers to
produce. Even things that they don’t need. So we
have come to that because the price of a barrel of
oil has today dropped from 50 dollars per barrel.
Projections for the future is not very encouraging,
most developing nations now concentrate on
renewable energy, we have not gone beyond
exporting crude.
“Today agriculture has become the Cinderella and
we are committed to making it an alternative
source of income. I am happy that twice that I
have been in this chambers, it has to do with
agriculture. The chairman of the LOC made it
quite clear that may be God in his kindness has
forced us into a situation where we now have to
think, where we now have to reason, look back.
“It is no longer a matter of choice that we must
divert to agriculture infact it is unforgivable that
we behaved stupidly without vision for so long.
Agriculture is about 70 per cent of our growth and
if we can generate even a 3 per cent growth ,
which marches the rate of our population growth
then you would have stabilized the whole vision.
“ But if you can make it 4 per cent, 5 five per
cent, you would have changed the living standard
of the majority of Nigerians. Agriculture is a big
business that we can profit from and we thank
God for bringing us to this state” he stated.
