Nigerian is not alone in this. May I dare to suggest that we encourage economic diversification as tool for coping with the inevitable fluctuation in all economic sectors all over the world of trade and commerse? To this point, I’ll draw your attention to a comment I had made in another topical item to do with NAFDAC and is as follows. Dr. German Onisuru. I was at the graduation ceremony at Leeds Becket University with some members of the family to witness our son receive
hiss LLB(Hons) yesterday, but something remarkable drew our attention. It was a doctorate for a Nigerian intellectual who had investigated Poutry farming in Delta State. This, I thought was incredibly serious and immediately beneficial research work that help align the poultry farming, a source of much needed protein food for the teaming population of this state. I have not had the opportunity to read this thesis yet, but I will be making every eefort to do so at the earliest opportunity
when next I am in Leeds or at the University of Liverpool, where I have contacts. I have chosen to write about this ground-breaking research which is not on some European wooly topic but on a subject that will have an immediate and useful benefit for a developing community such as the Delta State. The published thesis may be available online as I write
this comment, but I will urge the Nigerian Guardian to do the right thing by our people and feature this incredibly fruitful work. NAFDAC might even see some advantage for the nation in sponsoring an applicational work using Dr. German Onisuru as the projects implimentation research fellow. My congratulations go to Dr. Onisuru of the Business and Marcketing faculty of the Leeds Becket University, Leeds, England. This is one way to achieve economic diversification, I believe.
