Akin decried the attitude of Nigerian youths towards Agricbusiness, noting that the age range of farmers in Agricbusiness in Nigeria is 50 and above.

Speaking on the way forward, Akin opined that Nigerian government should go back to the grassroot and sensitise the younger generations on the need and important of Agricbusiness in Nigeria.

He noted that Government and Private sectors have important roles to play. In his words: “These two must marry each other and put a measure to increase the agric sector in Nigeria”.
