Northern Nigeria occupies 70% of Nigeria’s land mass along with its huge solid mineral deposits and rich arable land. In the 1960s the Northern cities where what formed the agricultural back bone of the nation’s wealth; the agricultural sector employed over 70% of the labor force and export crops was responsible for 62.2 % of Nigeria’s foreign exchange and 66.4 % of its GDP.
Historically agriculture has been the mainstay of most viable civilizations all over the world and in recent times, many developing countries in the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Africa have turn to agriculture to rapidly transform their economy. India for example has invested deeply in agriculture, its share of the world’s agricultural export market stands at 1.9% compared to1.16% the share of all Africa combined and in recent times it created over 13 million jobs expected to rise ultimately to 30 million jobs in agriculture and related businesses over an estimated period of time.
In Nigeria, the agricultural potential is highest in the Northern part and it is sufficient to catalyze economic revival in the nation’s diversified economy. When this comparative advantage is fully exploited, Northern Nigeria will achieve a complete regional economic rebirth [ISA].
The reform program of ADF is tied to agricultural utilization which will form the basis for economic revival and strength. Agriculture and the entire value chain in agribusiness shall be exploited and properly harnessed to benefit the youth entrepreneurs and impact on the economic well being of the region. Other training and absorption programs in mining, trading and technical skills will advance the youths in various ventures as well enable projects in clusters to harvest at optimum level human and natural potentials; these will eventually broaden the source of income beyond what accrues to Northern States from the nation’s oil revenue.
The categories of youths known as Almajirai are also a primary target for the activities of ADF, their program of reform will ensure that they obtain proper religious education, Western education and vocational training to support their future growth and the collective development of their region. The programs of ADF are created as a supportive mechanism of progress to be maintained by the joint efforts of family units, governments and the wider public to commence socio-economic reform, preserve progress and stop societal decay on a regional scale.
The programs of ADF are holistic programs of moral and economic transformation designed to bring about religious consciousness, social refinement and economic overhaul. Millions of Northern youths will be rehabilitated to respected individual and trained to be absorbed into the economic mainstream [ISA].
