The founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola, (SAN), has reiterated his call for a return of the country to the era of full agricultural practice, saying no nation, especially in Africa, can thrive, or achieve greatness, without the sector.
This is coming just as the nonagenarian elder statesman emerged African Man of the Year, in Food Security, for the second time.
Afe Babalola thus set the new record at the weekend, having also emerged the recipient, eleven years ago, in 2014, defeating other nominees from across the continent.
