Just as the Minister of Agriculture recently dispelled fears over food insecurity as a result of the flood disaster, experts in the agriculture sector have also affirmed that there is no reason to worry. Speaking on our weekend breakfast show; Sunrise, the director of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) for West Africa, Dr Roberts Asiedu, stated that "with the county of food produced in the country, with proper planning and mobilization, we should not have a situation where we have a on long term impact of the flood." According to him, the flood will even improve the soil quality because the flood will deposit rich top soil on the farm lands as the flood water is moving fine soil materials from other areas and it will deposit it on the flooded plains.
