Description
The concept of the Green Revolution is to make Nigeria self-sufficient in basic food production, within five years. This is a task which the Federal Government is fully committed to accomplishing. This publication is, however, aimed at providing some relevant information that should lead to a better understanding of the concept and actual implementation of the Green Revolution programme by the Federal Government.
