Listers,
Nigerian Agriculture Minister, Dr Akinwumi Adesina (former VP of AGRA), has been named Forbes African Person of the Year for his reforms to the country's farming sector. He has made use of ICTs to transform how inputs are procured, cutting out corrupt deals,
and shifting mindsets towards agriculture as a business.
Very transformative indeed! In Kenya, we need to move away from politics, roll up sleeves and work!
