A friend told me recently that Farming is the next big thing.
Information Technology used to be the “next big thing”, but it’s quite saturated now. And we know what’s happening in the Oil and Gas industry.The way forward is Mechanized Farming and the wealth generated by its Value Chain. The beauty of farming in Nigeria is we have arable land and a large population that will always need food, so there’s room for ev…eryone. And young people need to get involved. The glory of the youth is our strength, who better to spearhead this “next big thing” than us?
