Seeing the vast lands of the Awolowo Farm Settlements being converted to housing estates is a discouraging trend. The original vision was simple: use our land to feed our people and empower young farmers. When we allow productive agricultural areas to become residential zones, we are actively eroding our capacity for food security. This calls for a commitment to holistic development that respects historical land-use plans and ensures that our most fertile heritage is preserved for generations to come, not sold for immediate gain.
