In reply to Saurab. Many thanks Saurab. We will not relent in calling on the authorities to learn from past mistakes and from experiences of China, India et al. The environmental impacts of unsustainable agriculture can be devastating, we must thus ensure that while providing food for the populace we do not undermine the integrity of the environment.

I cannot stress how important these points you have raised are. It is extremely imperative that the Nigerian government does not blindly go for mass agricultural production and mass extraction of minerals. It is very, very easy to get caught up in the windfall that will happen once these activities are actively pursued. The authorities need to keep their wits, and focus more on doing this correctly. India and China are already facing the repercussions of unsustainable practices in both these sectors. Let Nigeria learn from these mistakes, not repeat them.
