With climate change threatening the predictability of harvests and the sustainability of many regional crops, the importance of trade in food commodities may well increase rather than diminish.

Shaping The Nigeria's Electoral Culture With Behavioral Insights
The history of Nigeria’s politics since the coming into being of the Fourth Republic, like its earlier democratic experiments have shown intractable but avoidable defects and deficits in the practice of participatory democracy.

Discussing Nigeria's Foreign Trade In Goods in 2021
The geopolitical tensions have sent global oil prices rising to a three-digit number more recently in the year 2022.
