He lamented that the farmers had been overwhelmed by the intermediaries in the industry, noting that there was the need to change the situation to make headway in the industry.
“The situation in catfish farming is caused by the farmers because they have allowed these intermediaries who do nothing to dictate for them. You are the ones working and they are the ones making the profit. It shows that the farmers are not liberating themselves.
“If you want to liberate yourself, within a year we can do it. And that is what we have to do. We have to re-strategise,’’ Obasanjo said.
