Prof. Abdul-lateef Oladimeji, the Dean, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of Al-Hikma University, Ilorin, says insecurity is threatening the country’s agricultural sector.
Oladimeji made the submission on Saturday in Ilorin during his paper presentation at the 11th Obafemi Awolowo University Muslim Graduates’ Association (UNIFEMGA).
He spoke on: “Diabolic conspiracy of elites in fostering insecurity and poverty in Nigeria: The way out”.
Oladimeji stated that the agricultural sector holds the key to Nigeria’s drive for economic diversification.
He however observed that food production has been undermined by insecurity, particularly the activities of the Boko Haram insurgents, bandits and kidnappers.
