Why not food sufficiency first.

We have a lot of natural resources that can be exported for now. Everybody is running to town many to engage in criminality to make money.

nairalanda1:
No, using our resources to make exportable goods should be our new oil.

We should have passed the stage of selling palm oil, cotton, cocoa and so forth.

Enugu seems to be one of the most progressive states in the country. Nice one from Governor Umeh

AntiChristian:
Yeah! All to align on the mandate of BAT!

Mandate of the failure u mean

Enugu is one of cleanest in the eastern states

Land like this still they and we scrabble in Lagos waiting for government intervention fund to hell with government who them help

Sure, we should have passed, but we haven't reached yet, we'll reach first before passing, okay.

One of the best governor in Nigeria currently.

Just because he supports Tinubu. Isn't it?

Even in the midst of insecurity.

And Wike destroyed the one of Rivers State and rather prefer building houses for judges because he wants power.

AguluLiar:
The whole of Enugu is not up 10,000 hectares in landmass

Sometimes before you comment research first, no let tribalism injured you oooo, we're the same in sight of God.

Privatize it and give government certain percentage.

The size of land they have planted palm trees is not up to the claim of 10,000 hectares. Abi are they also invluding the Oguta Lakers as part of the 10,000 hectares?

10,000 hectares should be as fasr as the eyes can see.

AguluLiar:

I hectare is 10 football fields.....are you saying enugu isn't upto a 100k football fields.....i think you are wrong sir.

It's really nice.

pimplucious:
Things are gradually taking shape in Nigeria. Mass farming, small, medium and large scale should be encouraged.

The everyday Nigerian whose mindset has been conditioned to first think of buying Okada to run Okada business with any little money that comes their way should divulge such money in farm business and watch things change

And the ibo business men whose first thinking is to start an import business importing fake and substandard products with small change they get not knowing such move is weakening the naira should go into farming and see the change they will bring to themselves and the country at larger

All you need is a thousand hectares in each LG fir integrated agric,thats sufficient fir trained youths in mechanised modern agriculture.

SUPERPACK:
Enugu State covers a total land area of approximately 7,161 square kilometers (716,000 hectares). Ezeagu is also one of the largest in landmass in the state.

Just make a lame analogy fir him so he can understand......a hectares is just 10 football pitches......is he saying enugu isn't upto 100k pitches.......he is very wrong.

i wish i can send it to that useless Ondo state governor

lol, we couldnt pass that stage because we didnt invest in STEM focused education and we didnt control birth rate. So, it is already a disaster. The black man love buying finished products. We wasted our money purchasing white man's created products instead of turning our abundant resources into finished products. Only STEM focused course could have done that.

Governors are using all these foreign companies to steal lands through documentation they are criminals

EverBlazingy2k:
I love this.
After this administration, will the next administration still prioritize it?

The question is : were they constructed by the present government? The answer is no. That is if they are fictional.

So in other words, everybody should go into farming nah

georgeakins:
May be the best in your biafla, but definitely not in Nigeria.

My brother am a Yoruba man, not from south east, if u see waiting good talk ham

Amumaigwe:

This one no get sense o! Waiting consign supporting jagaban for this talk.
Person the do well for him people, u they talk go another place.
I did my NYSC in Enugu 17 years ago, and I still go there over and over.....so I know what am saying.

Who owns the farm? Is it the State? ...is it a foreign company? ..is it a local investor? ...a politician? If it's the administration....the administration shouldn't be running a business but making it possible for the private sector to set up such businesses. If it's a foreign company....has the administration given locals the support and concessions they have given the private company? This farm has piggery ..fish ..palm oil etc .... wouldn't this be putting the various local small farmers out of business? Would the farm be having natural products?...or genetically modified products? If GMO ... are we prepared for the health problems and contamination of local crops?

" All that glitter is not good"

Them no bring development, e na go talk.
Them bring development, na still wahala.
Hmmm

Yes ooo. It can sustain a nation

Let's ask the Delta State govt about the Songhai farm built during the Ibori tenure and whether it's still existing
