Dr. Akinwumi Adesina - Agriculture and Rural Development Minister has been named African Person of the year by Forbes Magazine for his efforts at reforming the sector. Forbes Africa editor Chris Bishop was quoted to have said that ."He is a man on a mission to help Africa feed
itself,"
Accepting the award, Dr. Adesina said he wanted to help people become rich through
farming. "My goal is to make as many millionaires, maybe even billionaires,
from agriculture as possible," he said in his acceptance speech.
