Consolidation Drill 1
Learning is a skill, which the student needs to develop
just as a prospective mechanic needs to practise his trade.
for this reason, it is as necessary for the student to work
out a programme for his studies as it is for a general to
plan his attach on the enemy. It becomes necessary therefore
to plan out a programme, so that the time spent on this
important aspect should not be regarded as wasted.
it is a good idea to provide a student with a syllabus
at the beginning of this course, so that he can plan for
himself. Here, a progress chart will be very hopeful in esti-
mating his chances of success in the examination for which he
is preparing. A simple time-table is also very important as
it helps the student to get into the habit of working at a
definite time and for a specific period; this is a good thing,
because habit saves energy. The chances of his being dis-
tracted will become less as friends gradually learn
the hours when he may not be disturbed; but, on the other
hand, he should not forget he needs leisure which will then
be better planned and become more pleasurable.
it is left with the student to adopt the most suitable
method of study for himself, depending on his ability

The suggestion by various chief executives on the question
of raw materials are welcome but the problem is how to
carry out these suggestions. As you can see, no company is
ready to start the production of raw material. The government
should take the lead and assign the functions to industries
and company.
for example, the companies should be given a time when
they would not be allowed again to import raw materials. In
this case, government would grant some tax relief for
their investment programmes.
the government should rent out land to farmers at a very
cheap rate and give more grants to enable them to develop the
land. The government has, for many years, carried on with the
development of many capital projects all alone and sometimes
with foreign partners.
the breweries for instance should start now to think of
how to produce some of the imports required for their various
industries. It will be a good idea if they start now to
develop their wheat and maize farms.

Nigeria is one of the countries in the world where
farmers produce yams in abundance. The annual production is
celebrated in some parts of the country. This is called the
festival of the new yam. Most farmers’ wives arranged for
the sales of these yams starting from early in the month of
June when the new ones are being harvested. Those who love
pounded yam in some states in this country would pay any
amount of money for a few pieces of yam sold on our highways.
in recent years, the promotion of agriculture has
encouraged many people to start farming on a small scale
this has, in fact, led to mass production of yams, maize,
tomatoes, vegetables, and even poultry.
sometime in the mid-seventies, the ministry of Agriculture
of some state government sold poultry cages and 20 layers to
those willing to buy at a reduced price. Those who accepted
the offer at that time are, today, big poultry farmers.
the austerity measures notwithstanding, yams have now
become the most staple foodstuff in our country. They are
readily available in our markets in large quantities throughout
the year. Different types of foods can be made from yams;
these include fried yams, porridge and the most popular-
pounded yam. It is hoped that very soon, mechanised farming
will help farmers with mass production.
