The General Overseer, Holy Spirit Mission, Bishop Charles Ighele, has advised the government to realise that the country is an agrarian and not an oil-producing country and should therefore, give prominence to agriculture as it did before the discovery of oil.
Ighele said the country started getting it wrong right from the time of oil discovery, when it removed its focus on agriculture that was the main wealth of the nation at that time, namely cocoa in the West, oil in the East, rubber from Mid-West, cotton and groundnut pyramid in the North.
He added that it is highly regrettable where farming is concentrated in the hands of the rich who can easily have access to loans and that a lot of efforts by the government to develop farming among the grassroot have always been frustrated with no success at the end of the day. He noted that the government need to take a drastic stand to entrench agriculture in Nigeria to save the country from all the avoidable mess of high cost of food and living Nigerians have found themselves.
