The Founder of Hour of Mercy Prayer Mountain Worldwide, Prophet Muyideen Kasali, has urged the government to invest more in agriculture, to ensure adequate food supply and security in the country.
He said over dependence on oil revenue may soon lead to hunger in the nation.
Speaking after the annual one month prayer and fasting programme of the ministry, Prophet Kasali said there is need to diversify the economy from oil to agriculture, “in which we have comparative advantage.”
He said: “God asked me to tell Nigerians that they should wake up from their slumber for them not to sleep in hunger.
