AGRICULTURAL TRANSFORMATION

PIC. 15.   FARMERS WEEDING AT  DASS  IN BAUCHI ON WEDNESDAY (11/7/12).

One of the areas where Jonathan was able to secure a landmark achievement is the agricultural sector, which at a point was neglected by successive governments.

A good instance is the introduction of e-wallet, which was able to curb corruption and enhance the development of farming. The wallets were introduced into the phones of  farmers to cut off middlemen, who had been exploiting them and the government for years. By cutting off the intermediaries, the country was able to save billions that would have been spent on food import.
