Dr. Rafiu Ajakaye, former Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the Kwara State Governor, has commended Dr. A.Y. Mumeen’s newly released book, The Sovereign Soil: Unlocking the Wealth and Future of Nigeria’s Agriculture through the Sovereign Agrarian, describing it as a timely and insightful contribution to discussions on Nigeria’s agricultural and economic future.
In his review of the publication, Ajakaye praised the book for presenting agriculture from a modern and practical perspective, particularly for young Nigerians. According to him, the author successfully challenges the traditional perception of farming by positioning agriculture as a viable path to economic independence, wealth creation, and national prosperity.
He noted that the book’s simple language, contemporary outlook, and practical recommendations make it highly relevant at a time when Nigeria is seeking sustainable economic alternatives and long-term solutions to food insecurity.
