Ogunwole made this disclosure while speaking as a keynote speaker during a symposium on Irrigation and water management for agriculture in Africa held at International Institute for Tropical Agriculture , Ibadan.
He said, “With population explosion taking place now in Nigeria, there’s going to be a challenge for food, there’s going to be challenge for water, for municipal water use. There’s going to be challenge for energy. “There is a challenge with knowledge in Nigeria, there is knowledge deficit. And there is no support to facilitate the people who have the knowledge and the people on the feed doing the work.
“I believe in the decentralised irrigation system. People want to have personal things rather than general. Farmers will take it more serious.
