Ex-President Obasanjo Predicts Avocado As New Oil In 2030

The former president of Nigeria, who happens to be the person of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has predicted that Nigeria could become one of Africa’s biggest avocado producers by the year 2030.

Chief Olusegun made this disclosure during a courtesy visit to the Avocado Society of Nigeria (ASN) in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The ex-president is the owner of Obasanjo Farms Nigeria Limited, he was conferred the honor of the Grand Patron of the Avocado Society of Nigeria (ASN).

He expressed his high hope on the production of avocado fruit, stating that his farm is currently diversifying into producing this fruit and every other person should do the same.

Speaking during the visit, the retired military general expressed high hopes for avocado production in the country – even as his farms diversify into producing the fruit.

“I want to see this country becoming one of, if not the leading, avocado producer in Africa”, the retired military general stated.

Chief Olusegun added that the enthusiastic nature of the farmers could bring his prediction to reality.

The country Nigeria possessed all qualities needed to take over the East African countries in avocado crop production.

He further added that avocado cropping, if expressly tapped into, could overthrow the crude oil economy.

“Those of us who have been opportune to know about this fruit production must not hold the information to ourselves.

“In my judgment and opinion, this is the new oil of Nigeria, if it is effectively harnessed,” he stated.

Looking at the benefits of the fruit, Chief Olusegun said, “Avocado is a wonderful and unique fruit and very lucrative business which can be done as either a business or a hobby, from having a plantation or just a few trees in one’s environment.

“Sincerely speaking I am very glad to be a member of this association. I pray more people will appreciate the immense value of the avocado business and join us either as a hobby or as a business.

Avocado fruit is a very healthy fruit with a lot of health benefits. The oil as well as the pulp from it is used in the pharmaceutical companies, therapeutic activities, and cosmetic industry.

“I will say a bit of avocado every day makes you healthier and keep you away from the doctor.”

The CEO of the Avocado Society of Nigeria (ASN), Ambassador Sola Bunmi Adeniyi, laid facts to Chief Obasanjo’s claims, urging the country to tap into the prospects in the production of the fruit.

He stated that the multi-million naira investment in Avocado by the Grand Patron (Chief Olusegun Obasanjo) clearly shows that he is an unrepentant lover and advocate of agriculture.

“You heard him saying the potentials of this fruit in the next ten years; therefore avocado production must be tapped into by all, he emphasized.

In conclusion, he said that Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is the Grand Patron of this society because we believe in his capacity and we want him to lead this awareness for the good of Nigeria and the prosperity of our people.
