GENDER PARITY.
The seemingly relative development , growth and stability been enjoyed in Rwanda (African country ) may not be unconnected with inclusion of about 61% ( highest in the world , Nigeria had 6%) of the female folks in it’s parliament .
Addressing social norms and stereotypes that have over the years impeded naturally inbuilt women’s potentials of not just being managers and stabilisers in the family but also great contributors to a nation’s socio-economic development is very necessary. The power of investment in African women, through promoting growth, stability and development is akin to investment in nation.
Hence governments of African states have been tasked to prioritise women and gender inclusion in policy making process such that it will create a pathway and cornerstone of action by government and development partners.
African women should liaise with relevant stakeholders, including government agencies, local and international NGOs to have mechanisms to interface with industry experts in ICT, media and entertainment in their respective countries in order to instigate deliberate policies on gender inclution and women economic empowerment. Respective Heads of Governments in Africa, West African States in particular should work towards the establishment of a West Africa Shipping Line that will create greater and better economic opportunities for African women in various sectors towards empowerment in transportation sector.
African Governments are also charge to invest in girls’ aspirations to develop careers in science, technology,engineering and mathematics ( STEM ),while noting the need to close the gender gap in the career of STEM, as well as open more opportunities of comparative advantage to female folks in the field of STEM. The private sector should participate and continue to take lead in the promotion of gender equality in STEM programmes,while supporting governments to develop deliberate policies to break barriers in gender inequality in the science , technology and engineering career.
■ Food processing is very vital in adding values to agricultural production . Rather than leaving the sector in the hands of Capitalist manufacturers, the female folks need to at least take up trainings in the fundermentals of Food processing technology in different classes of foods such as in Beverages, Dairy,Baking, Drymix, oil extraction etc. Having working knowledge in water treatment, packaging, preservation quality control, food management systems etc. This will enable their enhancement in on- the farm processing of food such as tomatoes juice, puree and paste. In the area of fruits and vegetables much waste is recorded in oranges, watermelon, carrots which can be processed on the farm.
All these are part of the communique issued at the end of 6th Africa Women Conference (AWC) recently held at Sir Dawda Karaibe Jawara International Conference Centre, Banjul, The Gambia. The theme of the conference ” Accelerating Women’s Economic Empowerment and Gender Inclusion Through the Media , ICT and Entertainment Industries” attracted thought provoking papers presentations from diverse backgrounds and experiences on global opportunity; sexual and reproductive health of the African woman.; child marriage ; sexual abuse and a host of other related subjects millitating against women empowerment and development in Africa.
Women and girls are also encouraged to play more active roles in Information, Communication and Technology (ICT )development and emphasised the need for solidarity and networking amongst women of influence, power and authority.
Movie stars / professionals, music artists and other celebrities are no doubt influential in enthroning exemplary leadership as many of them play vital role in shaping opinions and lifestyle of their fans through their respective callings. The conference , therefore appealed to their sentiments to always be good ambassadors to the youth through quality representation. African women and men who are undergoing the challenges of infertility should seek help through Assisted Reproductive Technology system in order to fight the social trauma associated with infertility. The psychology of infertility often results in emotional violence putting the African women at the receiving end. All stakeholders should use ICT , the media entertainment industry to spread the message of Assisted Reproductive Technology system to fight the menace of stigmatisation. Therefore, despite the advocacy efforts by various organisations, there is resolve also that it must continually advocate for social justice and the empowerment of women.
■ Women empowerment in food processing is vital . Processing foods like Custard powder, Yoghurt ( different types eg Greek, drinking, frozen yoghurt ), orange, apple etc flavours, Zobo industrial all domestically.

EXITING POVERTY
China was crowned the POVERTY capital of the world between 1990 – 2013 , passing over the crown to India. China took advantage of the Western world and Japan who flooded China with their industrial technological productivity due to the cheap labour cost (sweat shops.) in China. The Chinese learnt the ROPES and started developing their own MSMES in manufacturing and got involved in infrastructural development of construction (construction which Nigeria is currently into) by 2013 and beyond China is now World power.
INDIA
The poor India of then worked hard to become INCREDIBLE INDIA.
The Incredible India had over time upgraded herself for the future by taking education very seriously in the 1960-70s, At the emergence of IT she latched into it’s development in the 60s.
In agriculture
India started importation of hybrid cereal grains of wheat, rice etc from the West for agricultural production .
In India today they are self sufficient in grains, same goes for pharmacology and manufacturing. Today, Indians are controlling almost all institutions globally from Banks, IT, Digital technology, Space technology, Health, and many other sectors. The Incredible India is only next to China in creativity and investment globally..
Nigeria (the current title holder in the poverty arena) blessed with huge population of enlighten teeming youthful population in ICT, Medics, and many other sectorial strength must look inwards to develop their own rather than Japa. I see Nigeria becoming greater than the aforementioned nations if only we can learn from the above nations.

DRUG AWARENESS AND PREVENTION
There is need to have a steely resolve to challenge the narratives at NDLEA. The authorities at the helms believe that the war against drugs abuse is Winnable with determination to break the stranglehold.
MOTIVATION of personnels who are the tools of work is very important to lifting the morale is vital, as morale is a battle winning factor, providing adequate arsenal for fight that matches drug barons’, the partner and the international partners are part of the global intelligence gatherings.
DRUG CARTELS epitomizes an organization, this organization tries to insulate the leadership by breaking into layers, that prevents getting to the top.
Intelligence is very vital, adequate training of the staff and in partnership with International partners.
CAUSES OF DRUG ABUSE.
Macro economic aspect where prosperity is needed to tackle poverty. Lifting people out of poverty by various programs is inevitable.
Poverty is the major cause, the teeming youthful population including teirary institutions graduates should be encouraged to learn trade and given seed money for formation of.
MSMES.
TYPES OF DRUGS
Cocaine, Methamphetamine and Heroin are pretty expensive but not cannabis grown locally and quite inexpensive. 70%. (about 106 million) of drugs abuse use cannabis they smoke it, eat it, drink it and even snort it.
The country needs more councelling and help centers with more rehab centers. The clergy (Christian, Muslim) should setup rehab including communities, traditional institution, media, everyone including celebrities.
SOLUTIONS
The campaign “War Against Drug Abuse ” (WADA) be carried to family members, communities, at LG. levels and. States, school systems and Drug free clubs in schools.
Advocacy to traditional institutions and religious institutions.
There is dearth of rehabilitation centers, set up call centers to address stigmas. Drug testing before admission to school, before employment or before running for political office, before wedding for documentation just like HIV, genotype instead of one chance scenerio is very important.

THE TEXTILE lndustries are in a strait and need serious surgical operation and assistance from the Federal government and stakeholders to bounce back. About 20 years ago we had about 180 factories but currently less than 20 are operating below 23% of installed capacity, the reason is not unconnected with Federal government’s liberalization policy on import into the country that allows anything to come in and compete with local production from Asia.
Before the liberalization, the industry could boast about 500,000 jobs, the textile produces 100% cotton which is affordable for all. WufasAgronet is using this medium to appeal to the Nigeria Custom Service NCS and Standard Organization of Nigeria SON to rise up and protect the industry from importation of substandard products. Also with the advent of AFCFTA dumping of substandard products must be stopped.
Currently, the industry will only come to reconning if it can surmount the following hurdles, power supply, cost of imputs, such as fuels for powering generators, raw materials, personnels to produce at low competitive cost and price.
CBN intervention on anchor borrower scheme on cotton farming be looked into.
UNIFORMS
The Federal and state governments agencies such as Police. Army, NYSC, Customs amongst others. should paronise the local industry. Also TAUPOULIN and CANVAS supplies be sourced locally.
Enabling environment should be created for the future of Nigeria textiles industries. The potentials are there capacity and basic raw materials available. IF ONLY SUMGGLING IS CURTAILED.
