North Can Survive Without Oil, Says Lamido Adamawa ..North can survive economically without proceeds from petroleum resources. ..but for the laziness on the part of the people of the region, the proceeds from agricultural produce would have made the region less dependent on oil. ..while a litre of palm oil is sold for N300, the same measurement is sold for N97 per litre when it is petroleum. He said if the North could harness its natural resources (agriculture), the region would have survived oil (petroleum), which had turned the people of the North to beggars in the eyes of those from the oil-producing states (petroleum). ..He called on the people of the region to wake up from their slumber to develop agriculture. .. some notable countries of the world, such as Japan and Germany, had no oil (petrol) but they were able to harness resources endowed to them by God to make their nations great. My take: Both oil producing and non oil producing states should the heed the message from the Lamido!
