Toyin Kayo-Ajayi, the founder of the Canadian Black Farmers Association, asserts that if it uses its plentiful resources, Nigeria can compete internationally in the agricultural sector.
During Channels Television’s Youth Forum, a live interactive program, Kayo-Ajayi made the statement on Thursday.
He claimed that countries around the world are highly sought-after for agricultural products like yam and vegetables grown in Nigeria.
He declared, “I will tell all the youth that Nigeria will be a very beautiful, industrial country in the next ten years. Even so, I’m going to move back home.
“Nigeria has such a wonderful country. I had to make the conditions that Nigeria’s have here (in Canada). I’m going to pack it in bags and ship it across Canada because I just created loamy soil in Nigeria.

“We can control a lot of things globally with agriculture alone,” says Nigerian President. I’m researching whether or not our vegetables are herbs.
“I’m trying to grow yam in Canada,” I say. Although I must protect the environment, Nigeria has it in abundance.
He criticized the notion that farming was only available to those with academic success while describing his agricultural career.
What dissuaded me from farming in Nigeria was the instruction to me when I was in school that “you can’t become a farmer if you don’t study.” It sounded like a curse.  ,
He continued, “I went to the farm with my grandparents from the age of five, six, and seven, and I saw the benefits of farming, which is a profession that will never go out of style.”
With the focus on “Pressing Issues Affecting Nigeria’s Youth,” the Youth Forum organizes discussions with experts and youth leaders on issues affecting young Nigerians in fields like business, education, health, industry, and other fields.
As President Bola Tinubu and several other governors in the state mark their second years in office, it provides a platform for youth engagement.
