“There is no justification for them to purchase our sesame seeds, gum arabic, yams, and soy beans and export because there is no justification for us to be unable to export ourselves since politics alone is not a sustainable sector, we must get it more in commerce and industry,” the author said.
He expressed gratitude to the departing leaders for their dedication and selflessness and wished the new executives the same or greater success.
