Obasanjo said this in Ibadan on Saturday at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA).

Obasanjo added that technology, finance, and human resources were challenges facing agricultural development.
He added, “If you go into agriculture you may not be rich like Dangote, but you will be satisfied and comfortable.
“You will be comfortable because you are close to nature. Every individual is a stakeholder in the agriculture value chain.
”If you are not a farmer, then you must be a consumer. If you are not a farmer, you can encourage a farmer”.
