Nigerian youths have been urged to seize opportunities in agriculture, a sector imperative to the diversification programme of the Federal Government.
It was an appeal made by one of Nigeria’s delegates to the just-concluded fourth annual Youth Agric Summit in Brazil.

The summit is part of the Bayer Agricultural Education Programme which brings together young change-makers, aged between 18 and 25, to tackle the challenges of feeding a growing population by 2050.
The delegates were Iyanuoluwa Aliu, an alumnus of the Adekunle Ajasin University; and Esther Ajari of Trihealton. They were selected from 2,800 applications around the globe to represent West and Central Africa at the summit, hosted by Bayer and Nuffield.
