Nigeria (01/05)
Agriculture has suffered from years of mismanagement, inconsistent and poorly conceived government policies, and the lack of basic infrastructure. Still, the sector accounts for over 41% of GDP and two-thirds of employment. Nigeria is no longer a major exporter of cocoa, groundnuts (peanuts), rubber, and palm oil. Cocoa production, mostly from obsolete varieties and overage trees, is stagnant at around 180,000 tons annually; 25 years ago it was 300,000 tons.

Once the biggest poultry producer in Africa, corporate poultry output has been slashed from 40 million birds annually to about 18 million. Import constraints limit the availability of many agricultural and food processing inputs for poultry and other sectors. Fisheries are poorly managed.

U.S. Embassy, Nigeria: Crossroads - June 2001
U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria Howard F. Jeter Democracy is More Than Casting a Vote - Amb. Jeter Winston Churchill said, "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." Like Churchill, most of us accept the notion that democracy is good. Some people think that if there is an election, and people vote, that is all that is needed. I hope your participation in "Project Citizen" is helping you learn that there is more to a democracy than that. Democracy is more than a mechanism of voting, ... [Read More]
