*"Let food by thy Medicine and medicine thy food" Hippocrates.*
The above quote remains sacrosanct in the modern day Nigeria and must not be taken with lip services.
The easiest way to revitalise the agriculture sector and address food insecurity and economic instability is by encouraging citizens to embrace agriculture as a viable means of life.
Barrister Femi Ogunbanwo (Omo-Iwa)'s Back to Farm Initiative and Support for Farmers could not have come at a better time than this. It is the right period in supporting Ijebu Constituents Farmers to upgrade their smallholdings into fully-fleged businesses, enhancing the practicability of their skills and knowledge which they need to complete on the national platform and by extension the global economy.
Hunger breeds Poverty. That is why the Yoruba Proverb states *"Ti ounje ba ti Kuro ninu ise, ise ti buse"*(when food/feeding is taken care of, then poverty is out of the way)
Hon Femi Ogunbaneo, taking the bull by its horns, on this 8th Day of April ,2025 supported Farmers within the Ijebu Central Federal Constituency with sustainable financial backing in leading them back to farm and promoting their agricultural enterprises.
Above One Thousand Five Hundred Farmers within the Ijebu Constituency received cash support and they were thankful to Hon Femi Ogunbanwo for the constant empowerment of his constituents.
You will recall that barely few months ago precisely on 9th December, 2024, the constituents benefited from a Mega Empowerment Programme where over 2,000 Artisans, Farmers, etc were empowered
Agriculture is our wisest pursuit because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good standards and happiness.
