Oil and Gas can no longer feed Nigeria – Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said oil and gas can no longer feed Nigeria, considering the nation’s growing population. He said only farming and agric business can tackle the nation’s growing population.

He said this at the weekend, when the leaders of the apex socio-cultural group in Tiv land of Benue State, Mzough U Tiv (MUT) paid him an appreciation visit at his OOPL Penthouse residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

He admonished the Tiv people to focus on farming, stressing that he had put his arson on his farm in Benue behind him.

Obasanjo, who was conferred with the title of a “Great Warrior” of Tiv land by the socio-political group, said he would establish an industry in Benue next year.
