WHY FEDERAL / STATE GOVERNMENT MUST NOT IGNORE HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT – CAPACITY BUILDING IN FOOD PROCESSING TECH (CWG)

■ The CORE WORKING GROUP (CWG) IN THE THEMATIC AREAS OF NUTRITION etc. Must be Reappraised

…….@WufasAgronet, we don’t know more than food.
We earned ” FAO” Top Fan barge.

We applaud the giant stride of the Federal/State Government in transforming the Agricultural sector of the economy to major non-oil National Contributory pool of revenue generation. This is highly commendable, efforts of Government in ensuring sustainable food security and value chain development is very encouraging. Sustainable food security is to ensure that steps are taken to make good quality food available and accessible to every citizen at all times. These and many other achievements have woken up the latent energies in most Nigerians to the wakeup call. WUFAS AGRONet is a Human Capital Development consultancy firm in food processing technology. The passion is to convert the restive youthfulness of our youth to adventurism in Agricultural productivity through Entrepreneurial/Empowerment Demonstrative Seminars in Ethics of food processing technology to stimulate and expose them to essence of processing in exportable food and value chain development.

Education is a key input in agricultural and industrial development. Agriculture remains the surest way to lift millions of Africans out of Hunger, Poverty, Conflict and Desperation – the Maputo declaration of 10% of annual budget must be committed to.
With the current realities of our economy From available statistics the following facts as at June 2018 (AIT moneyline) state as follows:

— The poverty rate in Nigeria is 67% (overtaken India which use to be the poorest. in the world)
— Unemployment rate presently is about 18.8%
— Youth unemployment rate is about. 33.3%
— Manufacturing investment in 4 years is only 4 trillion Naira.this figure compared with our yearly Import of manufactured goods shows we are very import dependent.
— In 2017, 10,291 Manufacturing jobs were lost ( MAN).

YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT

Our youths especially graduates are either unemployed or underemployed,
most youth are becoming recalcitrant to learning, insisting that their opinion are better as against the weight of evidence to their unproductiveness but prefer IT Leisure, the Capacity Building must be taken to them.

Most states could hardly pay salaries

Only 2.4 million civil servants will benefit from recurrent expenditure of N3.494 trillion in form of salaries and emoluments out of over 198 million Nigerians in the budgeted 9.12 trillion naira in 2018.

OPEC has capped Nigeria oil production to 1.8 mbpd although Federal Government budgeted 2.2mbpd
