The Nation Newspaper Agric expert blasts Adeleke as Osun food inflation ranks highest in SW
An agric and export finance expert Femi Adesola has descended heavily on Governor Ademola Adeleke over the food inflation in the State ranked as the highest in the South West. Adesola berated Adeleke for neglect of the agricultural sector noting that N3.1b was earmarked for Agriculture and Food Security Ministry in Osun’s 2024 budget with no specific programme and project itemised
According to Adesola: “Neglecting this sector which serves as a vital source of food, employment and livelihood, is not an option. Osun is both a civil servant and an agrarian state. Arable land totals 761,690 hectares in Osun with the availability of rivers and streams for irrigation with fish farming.“Regrettably, Adeleke has only paid lip service to the plight of the agriculture sector, lacking any actionable plans to complement his rhetoric.
