At these present times of moribund systems,you need not go formal and follow due process to get to these institutions. You are a Nigerian,think our normal way. You need to have an in-house to get things done in a timely manner in Nigeria,if you don't want red-tappism to kill your ideas and moves. Your network is your networth. Buid a solid one

I have said it repeatedly here, one of the lowest hanging fruits out there for this new administration is to mandate that all federal agencies, institutions, ministries must have a functioning website with up to date information and where applicable, for their services to be almost completely accessible online.

This easy win will boost efficiency across the economy, boost growth, and transform citizens interaction with government.

Any vested interest, heads of these organisations that resist the change should be retired immediately.

Until a few years ago, registering a company was a nightmare with endless bribing of CAC staff.
Since the entire process was moved online, the process is super fast with zero bribing.

Mr Tinubu, please this move will cost very little, and yet bring huge advantages for the economy.

Just do it.

Some of the problems require little efforts. I pray he looks into this.

Is this guy for real? Nigeria is #1 in Africa for many food products and Top 10 in the world heck we are #1 in kolanut (obi) and we are not even trying to be and that alone generate like ~2 billion naira. Nigeria also did not sign all the global warming treaties like every other countries on the planet and we dont have such thing as carbon emission tax (which Ireland have and they are killing/eliminating their agriculture sector just because of global warming). Nigeria is also blessed in terms of land area (you can drive for 6 to 9 hours are you will still be in Cross River or Kaduna, meanwhile you can drive through all of Ireland or UK for 4 hours (in Ireland case) or 9 hours (in UK case) heck from Lagos to Baga that nearly two days journey) the North need the South for oil income and the South need the North for food. If we go our ways it will be a catastrophe not just for North and South Inhabitants but to the Black race. United we stand, Divided we fall.

God bless Nigeria, Long Live Nigeria

(Ireland does not even rank #1 or Top 10 in any food/agriculture products either in western europe or europe or the whole world)

I have been on Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) and Nigeria Institute for Oil Palm Research's (NIFOR) website respectively trying to buy Cashew Nuts Seeds and Coconut Seedlings, but I would never be able to because of some corrupt individuals working against the interest of agriculture in the country. For goodness sake, what will it cost you to have a user friendly website where payments can easily be made and my products delivered to wherever I am in the country?

These are institutes heavily subsidised and are solely established to cater for the agricultural needs of Nigeria. However, buying anything from them is near impossible as some of their workers are rumoured to resell at exorbitant prices to not so willing but powerless buyers. To make this into perspective, NIFOR sells a seedling of Coconut for 1500 and the least you can probably get that outside their walls is 2500. Some go as selling for 5000 or even more. For CRIN's cashew nuts jumbo seeds, the establishment sells for 1500 per kg and you get that around 4500 or even more from these ugly individuals.

It takes forever for them to reply your emails, the phone details are not easily seen, they most probably don't have one. The only thing that works well with lack of transparency is the desire to steal, exploit, and/or extort. Call it anything, it's most likely a negative thing.

My question will be, why do we love exploiting and wreaking havocs on ourselves? How difficult is it to be a decent human being? Are we so useless we can't seem to get anything right? I believe we can do better and we should be doing better.

Admin, please kindly move to the front page. Let their ogas respond to these allegations.

I understand your frustration with the difficulties you've encountered while trying to purchase Cashew Nuts Seeds and Coconut Seedlings from the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) and the Nigeria Institute for Oil Palm Research (NIFOR). It is unfortunate that some individuals 
https://pcsoresults.ph/stl-results-today/
within these institutes are engaging in corrupt practices, hindering the smooth progress of agricultural initiatives in the country.

Having a user-friendly website and efficient payment and delivery systems would undoubtedly improve the overall experience for buyers like yourself. It is disheartening to witness the lack of transparency and the negative impact it has on both agricultural development and the reputation of these institutes.

Corruption is endemic in Nigeria.
Another classic example is the Police Clearance Certificate done in FCID headquarters in Alagbon- ikoyi, Lagos.
The website states N25,000. When you get to their office, you hear all sorts of information such as fast track,capturing fee etc which eventually takes the amount to N50,000 and in some cases N70,000.
My primary concern is that even criminals can bribe their way to obtaining these documents without any control simply because of our love for money, lack of integrity and desire to cut corners.
How will the international community view us?
What will they perceive of our certificates?
And, sham documents we present if any tom, dick and harry can purchase it on the streets without following due process.
When will Nigeria, its authorities and citizens learn to do the right thing?
Everyday we see cases of the Jamb fiasco coming up time and time again.

True that. Corruption thrives in an atmosphere of inefficiencies.

Agribusiness is big business in the U.S.
so these folk should NOT even be talking of a lack of funding because the field is self-financing if things are done right.

IITA is a lot more innovative and responsive because of the professionalism and focus of the folks there.

Is it true that former minister of agriculture used 18billion for bush clearing? That amount is enough to plant Rice to feed the entire west Africa. We will succeed in agriculture if politicians stop stealing our common wealth and when they are focused. Common Rice Nigeria cannot produce. I was born to see sand Rice, and many years after Nigeria is still struggling with Sand Rice despite global innovations in modern agriculture. Well let's see if Tinubu will be different. The past government only planted Rice on pages of newspapers

NIFOR responded quite quickly, a lot quicker than expected. I have been connected to an official, a really helpful man who promised to bring me some to Ilorin tomorrow. There are no discrepancies between the online price and the one he quoted. He seems genuinely helpful. I'm impressed.
