“What I have done is a research that is an improvement on other researchers conducted in the past, which if adopted and implemented, will solve the present economic recession and diversify our economy,” he noted.
He illustrated with the aid of a projector, capturing an example of a research conducted by the National Animal Production Research Institute (NAPRI), Shika.
In the said research which was conducted over 30 years ago by a team of scholars, several recommendations on how to improve the yield and health of cattle and livestock were made.
Musa was optimistic that Nigeria was blessed enough to sustain itself and even export to other countries, hence, the findings of his research holds a key to several problems bedeviling the country, with the farmers/herdsmen clashes being one of the issues.
