Omale said the stance taken by the EU is disturbing to Nigeria especially going by its potential employment opportunity for the country’s unemployed youth.
A Nigerian palm oil expert, John Omale, has said that he disagrees with concerns been spread by the European Union and other global warming advocates that palm oil cultivation was contributing to global deforestation.
The EU economic bloc has said that it would phase out the use of palm oil as a feedstock for its biodiesel, while global warming campaigners have lobbied for palm oil usage in processed food and other various products to be halted. Omale said, “When you grow oil palm after a long period of time, you will see that the interaction in the eco system starts to come back again.
He added, “The call for reduction in palm oil consumption is not encouraging for me. With an increase in population, an encouragement for us to go into agriculture, undergraduates going here and there, no work to do, palm oil plantations will increase. It will create jobs for people.
