Ladies and Gentlemen,
If 3% of Nigerians engage in active and extensive mechanized farming, are we saying they cannot feed the teeming population?
Considering the number of institutions of agriculture both local and international, there is no need for governors to engage the civil servants in farming when they never included that as part of their roles while in active service.
It is rather in my opinion an insult which the NLC and other unions should rebuke.
We are seeing the shallow idea of governance and insensitivity of the leaders the electorate elected to help them remove the yoke of poverty and underdevelopment.
If the governors cannot come up with robust and reasonable strategy to alleviate the sufferings of the people they should honorably resign.

--Can someone please confirm that a state in Nigeria, Benue, has decided to have a 4-day working week, saying that state workers should use Friday and weekend to farm?And that Governor Okorocha is planning the same?I want to think that the information is not correct.If it is correct, how do we convince "power" that productivity is key to economic development?TF
