He advised farmers in the area to take advantage of the rain to start bush clearing and preparation for farming activities.

Amusan equally called on government to begin early by clearing the waterways so as to prevent flooding, while appealing to residents not to dump wastes into water channels.

Also, Mr Yemi Ogunsola, another farmer, called on the people, irrespective of their career, to embrace farming to reduce the current hardship in the country.

He said that farming should not be left for the rural farmers alone, saying businessmen and civil servants should go into farming to ensure availability of food

Ogunsola noted that the country is presently recording lesser food production for the growing population, adding that the only solution was for more hands to get involved in farming.
