Listers,

Nigerian Agriculture Minister, Dr Akinwumi Adesina (former VP of AGRA), has
been named Forbes African Person of the Year for his reforms to the
country's farming sector. He has made use of ICTs to transform how inputs
are procured, cutting out corrupt deals, and shifting mindsets towards
agriculture as a business.

Very transformative indeed! In Kenya, we need to move away from politics,
roll up sleeves and work!
