Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

By Stephen Adeleye

A seasoned agricultural expert, Dr. Tunde Arosanyin, FCIM, FCAI, says agricultural production in Okunland, Kogi West Senatorial district,is facing an existential threat due to the rising incidence of insecurity in the area.

Arosanyin’s raised the alarm in a paper he presented during a summit organised by Okun Development Association (ODA) in Kabba.

The expert’s assertion underscores the imperative for swift action to protect farmers, ensure food security, and safeguard the region’s economic future.

Presenting a paper on “The Impact of Insecurity on the Agricultural Value Chain in Okunland,” Dr. Arosanyin highlighted the devastating effects of insecurity on the sector.

He emphasized the need for collaborative efforts to address the security challenges facing farmers and threatening food production in the region.

According to him, there is a pressing need for stakeholders to develop effective strategies to mitigate the impact of insecurity on the agricultural sector in Oukunland.

Dr. Arosanyin’s presentation was anchored on a MEAL analysis, which he used to simplify the complex issue of insecurity in Okun Land.

The MEAL analysis stands for Main Idea, Evidence, Analysis, and Link.

According to him, the main idea is that insecurity is affecting the agricultural value chain in Okunland, as a result of kidnappings, killings, and destruction of farmlands.

He provided evidence of the widespread nature of insecurity in Okunland, citing instances of kidnappings and killings in various communities.

Speaking on the Challenges and Way Forward, Dr. Arosanyin identified several challenges facing the agricultural sector in Okunland, including unprofiled strangers trooping into communities, unguarded spaces in farmlands and forests, and unrestricted nomadic activities.

He also highlighted the need for youth engagement in agricultural value chain business and adequate support from the political class.

To address these challenges, Dr. Arosanyin recommended a holistic approach, including the encouragement of tree crops planting, youth engagement in agriculture, and adequate support from the political class.

Dr. Arosanyin emphasized the need for urgent attention to the issue of insecurity in Okunland.

He stated : “Insecurity is a great threat to Agricultural Value Chain Development, impacting on it negatively and if not addressed holistically, it can lead to grave socio-economic collapse of the Okun nation.”

He, therefore called on everyone to take responsibility for security, saying “if you see something, please say something to the appropriate authorities.”

The summit, themed “Unlocking Okunland’s Full Potential Through Strategic Partnerships,” brought together stakeholders from various sectors to brainstorm solutions to the insecurity challenges plaguing the region. (vitalnewsngr.com)
