If Nigeria does not industrialize, especially through agricultural mechanization, there’s no hope for her political and economic survival. Consider this: because of the failure to industrialize as a driver of economic diversification, Nigeria remains stranded at both ECOWAS and AfCFTA levels.

Second, we need to focus on and redirect the narrative to making Nigeria an industrial economy of global standing.
