Nigeria Forward Nigeria is moving Africa forward through a Transformation Agenda of innovation, investment, and infrastructure: nigeriaforward.com / @nigeriaforward

Big things are happening in Africa. Across the continent, a new Africa is rising—an Africa of reform, economic growth and business opportunity. You don’t hear about this Africa very much. Headlines about oil, corruption and conflict overshadow the lesser-told story about what else is happening in Africa: countries like Nigeria are diversifying their economies, developing their infrastructure and driving unparalleled growth. Witness the new Nigeria, whose dynamic growth is leading this transformation. From agriculture and manufacturing to power and infrastructure, hear from leaders in the public and private sectors about how they are moving Nigeria—and Africa—forward.

Nigeria Forward: Transforming Agriculture

The transformation of Nigeria's Agriculture sector is the cornerstone of President Goodluck Jonathan's Transformation Agenda and a major focus of efforts to diversify Nigeria's economy.

Nigeria has abundant natural resources, most of which have yet to be fully exploited. The country possesses 80 million hectares of arable farmland, accounting for 25 percent of all arable land in West Africa. Nigeria's Agricultural renaissance is on track to add 20 million metric tons to the domestic food supply by 2015 and create three million jobs.
