THE MAN WHO BEAT ALIKO DANGOTE AND JIM OVIA TO BECOME " FORBES AFRICAN PERSON OF THE YEAR".

Shocks to the eyes of those who witnessed it. Nigeria's Minister of Agriculure "Akinwumi Adesina" was awarded "forbes African Man of the year".
Adesina was given the award for his reforms to the country’s farming sector.

‘He is a man on a mission to help Africa feed itself’, said Forbes Africa editor Chris Bishop.
‘My goal is to make as many millionaires, maybe even billionaires, from agriculture as possible’, Adesina said in his acceptance speech.
Aliyu Tanko from BBC Hausa says Adesina has introduced more transparency into the supply and distribution of fertiliser, which had previously been marred by massive corruption.
