Though not particularly new, the Malete Integrated Youth Agricultural Training Farm Center is introducing a fresh, less stressful and profitable method to dry season farming. Irrigation as an influential method in farming is not strange, especially with farmers in Northern Nigeria. Whether there are enough facilities or technical knowhow to optimize the benefits there-from is another issue.

Even in places where there are relevant facilities and necessary technical know-how, it is in doubt if the accruing benefits are maximized. The Malete Youth Farm Center is not how just interested in, on its run, changing the story; it is also through a deliberate effort, teaching people to charge the story for better.  Starting the demonstration dry season farming initiative with 100 hectares vegetables and fresh maize, the water supplies from the Apodu Dam promises an uninterrupted irrigation throughout the dry season.

It may not be Apodu Dam in your own case; it may be another river that has an equally long life span that guarantees the sustenance of this worthwhile initiative. While a better fed world community is grateful to you, you will be better off, richer and more fulfilled for taking bold initiative. Let's wean our world from the stereotyping, straight jacket life of a mono season. God didn't make it so.

The spacious and well powered refrigeration at the cargo terminal will be of immense advantage to dairy farmers and those into horticulture who will be eager to take advantage of the large markets in Europe, now brought within their reach by the singular presence of this cargo terminal. Ilorin, the Kwara State capital enjoys a robustly unique locational advantage as it is centrally located. The State Capital itself as emerging mega city is a major link to the North West, North Central and the South West. This, in itself is a rare advantage that is hoped to be maximized by the cargo terminal and its users.

Though with far less capacity, the overstressed cargo facilities at Murtala Mohammed will be relieved when Ilorin Cargo Terminal commences operations. The new infrastructure promises to be a great leveler for all users as it offers to give equal, but competitive opportunities to all. It also offers to make the difference as it promises a unique selling point of time, a vital consideration in contemporary business world. 

Customs and other officials are billed to be at their duty posts attending to passengers with a compelling urge to optimize quality services. When it commences works, the Ilorin Cargo Terminal with the facilities and the capacity it parades, will arguably, be the biggest in the West Africa sub-region. And because of the unique advantage of its location, will be the most patronized.
