Share  September 1, 2026.    His Excellency,   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief, Federal Republic of Nigeria, State House, Aso Villa, Abuja, Nigeria.   OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT, THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, ON OPERATION NO IDLE LAND: A CALL FOR A NATIONAL POLICY ON PRODUCTIVE LAND USE AND A STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR FOOD SECURITY  Your Excellency, I write with utmost respect and a deep sense of national responsibility to propose the urgent adoption of a transformative national initiative, Operation No Idle Land, alongside the declaration of a State of Emergency for Food Production.

These experiences reinforced my conviction that Nigeria possesses the land, human resources and natural endowments to become one of the world’s leading agricultural economies. What is required is a deliberate and coordinated strategy to convert our agricultural potential into productivity, employment, food security and national prosperity. THE CHALLENGE BEFORE NIGERIA  Nigeria is endowed with vast arable land, favourable climatic conditions and a youthful population capable of driving a modern agricultural economy. Yet, significant portions of potentially productive land remain underutilized or completely idle....
