He noted that with Nigeria’s rapidly growing population, investing in agriculture and education is vital to lifting millions out of poverty.
“We can transform friction into structured economic opportunity and build education pathways for farmers and herders,” Tinubu said. “This will help stabilise communities and grow our food systems.”
He also highlighted the importance of addressing herder-farmer conflicts through structured investments and modernisation of agricultural practices.
Tinubu reiterated that Nigeria’s demographic strategy, aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda, remains a core part of its foreign policy. With a projected population of 400 million by 2050, he stressed the urgent need for targeted investments in key sectors to prepare for the country’s future needs.
