Nigeria's private sector continues to grow and thrive in spite of the ongoing problems with poor infrastructure and leadership. During our stay in Minna, we ran into a wonderful gentleman by the name of Rabiu and found out he was the manager of Maizube farms on the outskirts of the city of Minna. We happened to be passing by the farm on our way to Bida and we stopped by the fruit stand run by the Farm to purchase fresh yogurt and juice. In addition to a working dairy with Holstein milk cows, the farm boasts of an orchard with various types of fruits like mangoes, oranges, grapefruits and bananas. There is a greenhouse unit were various types of vegetables are cultivated and a field crop unit where maize, rice and legumes are grown.
