THE AGBADO ECONOMICS AND ITS POTENTIAL GAINS By Uwode  Josephine

Those with economic foresight can attest to the fact that as part of democratic engagements, successive governments have been on an enthusiastic search for economic prosperity fashioned along an agrarian based route. Archetypal of such economic revival policies include , The Operation Feed the Nation(1976), National Accelerated Food Production (1972), Green Revolution e.t.c.

The Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) Agbado(maize)/cassava policy statement is grossly misconstrued by pen pushers of evil, political neophytes and attack dogs of the oppositions playing dirty with the terminology which in economic sense ought to translate an euphemism to agriculture.

The Agbado slogan which symbolises a penchant for the rebirth of a revamped and diversified economy, can be described as an economic blueprint worthy of organic support and emulation. It simply connotes the proposed transition from a monoculture economy (Black Gold production) to an agrarian based economic model.

This obviously has the tripartite benefit of inducing a robust GDP, Bail out from unemployment debacle and the licensing of food availability and sustainability (food security), which are clear signals of economic growth and development in tandem with the United Nations performance index.

Buttressing the aforementioned gains encoded in the Agbado policy which forms the nucleus of the BAT mantra, agriculture happens to be the sparkplug and lifeblood of modern economies as eloquently manifested in the economic sustainability strategy of the Unites states, China, Brazil, Argentina and even India that forms a solid profiling of agbado exporting nations; a sure confirmation of the Agbado potency in creating a plus economic formula.

According to Fredrick Nwabufobo: *identifying with Agbado is nothing to be mortified about.Agbado rings a bell for the masses. It represents food on their table and escape from the quotidian relieve of hunger”** In a nutshell, only those who have lost touch with contemporary economics can nauseate and ridicule such an alluring new bride policy worthy of an applause and warm embrace.

BAT with his economic and political “A game sense” , adjudged from his service in the capacity of a one time Governor , Senator and a business mogul, seeks to bring to the doorsteps of Nigerians the New Black Gold in Agabado/cassava format.

This is weighted towards redefining the economy from an import oriented one to an export dominated economic mainstay. BAT, the Lagos Burdillion is saying; Think away from oil!!! Embrace Agriculture!!! Las las the nation must Tinubu-Lokan!!!
