It as also been proven by research that the fish industry can restore the economy of Nigeria if the governments are ready to empower the youths and potential small scale fish farming.
I have always said it that catfish farming is one of the most lucrative businesses in Nigeria, because you can get up to 200 percent return on your capital in a year. You can start small and grow big in it. The Federal government policy in Nigeria will help serious-minded investors to explore the opportunity in fish farming – especially when policy related to ban on importation of fish is fully implemented. Also, adding value to your catfish production will earn you additional fortune. As you prepare to setup a catfish farm, plan also to setup a catfish processing unit where you can process your fish for both local and international consumption.
Also, due to many controversies on fat content of catfish, tilapia is becoming a choice of Nigerians, coupled with the fact that a ban on importation of imported fish will soon be fully implemented. Unlike catfish, tilapia can do well without animal protein. This means that the cost of production of tilapia fish per kilogram is lower compared to catfish, and the price of tilapia fish per kg is far higher than that of catfish.

Cassava Farming : One special thing about cassava farming is that it can do well anywhere, and in any land, as much as we have fertile land where it can be productive and perform better, it can also do pretty fine on an averagely good soil.Cassava is a major raw material in Nigeria today and the use is endless, not just in food production and animal feeds, its an industrial raw material for processing and making some major home items, cassava demand is very high and you as a farmer with a free land can cultivate cassava on the land this year and make good profit from that land.
