Because they are naturally produced by biological microorganisms, they are referred to as biosurfactants. Biosurfactants act like slippery detergents, helping the oil move more freely away from rocks and crevices so that it may travel more easily out the hydrocarbon polluted soil. Microbial Produced biosurfactants that emulsify the oil-soil interface during bioremediation.

Nigeria is the world largest producer with a global average yield of 11.80 t/ha, cassava yields can reach 80 t/ha, compared to the current world average yield of just 12.8 t/ha. Biofertilizer solves the traceability problem of chemical farm inputs, suitability and nutrient use efficiency as an integral function of the rhizosphere microbiome via plant microbe interactions for improved soil health quality and crop degradation management. Cassava cultivation with biofertilizer will reduce hydrogen cyanide (HCN) levels in the crop as an integral bioavailability of soil organic matter and nutrient use efficiency. Plant growthpromoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the biofertilizer will ameliorate plant abiotic stress and bio-control diseases management. Easily accessed agrobacterium inoculant in biofertilizer has potential for transgenic cassava cultivar development for improved yield and nutrient biofortification. This book chapter encapsulate the case studies trilogy research article papers on biofertilizer impacts on soil microbiome during cassava cultivation for crop yield, soil health, regenerative agriculture, value chain development, food and nutrition security.

Russia military doctrine employs, 'multi-domain operations' in the diplomatic, information, cyber, economic, and military domains for regional hegemony. Both military powers seek 'defence foresight' to manage their national interests outside of their borders of its territory using 'high-precision weaponry and proxies'. Its execution requires the optimization of global strategic posture into the 'instruments of power' termed 'warfare ecosystem' schema-iterated exploration of alternatives paths for results that, 'optimize risk and uncertainty', with the principles of minimum regrets, flexibility, versatility and adaptability encapsulate the 'warfare strategy' as a wicked problem.

Filed trials were conducted in the last seasons of 2011 and 2012 in the lowlands field of Gateway Organic Fertilizer Plant (Latitude 7 Degree 10’ N and Latitude 3 Degree 15' E). A randomized complete block design in a split-plot arrangement with three replicates was used. Sources of Organic fertilizer were [Gateway 1 Fertilizer (GF1), Gateway 2 Fertilizer (GF2), and Sunshine Fertilizer (SF)] assigned to the main plots and in the subplots application rate (0, 10, and 20 tons/ha). In 2011, Oba Super-2 sown with GF1 was significantly taller than other organic fertilizer sources at (68.1 cm) and 12 weeks after planting (223.0 cm) with improved grain yield (3.9 tons/ha). In the year 2012 improved assimilatory surface (leaf area and leaf area index) was observed in hybrid maize with GF2 and SF. The highest significant grain yield (2.48 tons/ha) was observed in hybrid maize sown with SF. Yield attributes of hybrid maize increased with application rates of organic fertilizer in 2011, with improved performance (3.96 tons/ha). Improved grain yield (2.67 tons/ha) of Oba Super-2 with increasing application rate in the following year could only be attributed to 1000 grains weight. In this agroecology, GF1 and SF could be used to establish Oba Super-2 with an application rate of 20 tons/ha provided water is non-limiting.

The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. Three sources of organic fertilizers (Gateway fertilizer 1 (GF1), Gateway fertilizer 2 (GF2) and Sunshine fertilizer (SF)) at four application rates (0, 5, 10 and 15 t ha-1) and NPK 20: 10:10 as a check (30kg N ha-1) were applied on soybean cultivar (TGx 1440–1E), which was planted by seed drilling at 0.5 m apart. Soybean vegetative growth parameters, nodulation, amount of nitrogen fixed, yield, and yield components were determined at 8 weeks after planting (WAP). Fertilizer sources had no significant (P > 0.05) effect on growth parameters except on plant height, GF 2 having significantly (P < 0.05) taller plant. GF 2 had a significantly (P < 0.05) higher number of leaves and taller (P < 0.05) plant with an increasing application rate, which was not observed in other sources. Percentage nitrogen fixed increased significantly (P < 0.05) with application rates in GF1, which was not observed in others. Conversely, significant (P < 0.05) depression was observed on the number of pod/plant with increasing application rate in GF1, with no visible pattern in pod weight/plant with increasing application rates. In conclusion, increasing application rates of GF2 could give a comparative performance of soybean as chemical fertilizer in the transitory zone of Nigeria.

Institute of Food Security, Environmental Resources and Agricultural Research, Nigeria. Two liquid organic fertilizers (ARATI NAWOZ {2.01% N} and ARATI BAJA {1.01% N}) and control were applied to four sunflower varieties (SAMSUN 1, SAMSUN 2, SAMSUN 3 and SAMSUN 4) during the late cropping season (July – Nov.) of 2016 and 2017 to evaluate their agronomic response. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design using a 4 × 3 factorial arrangement in three replicates. Data were collected on plant height at maturity, head diameter and weight, weight and number of seeds per head, 100 seed weight and seed yield. The varietal effect was significant (P < 0.05) on head diameter and weight, and number and weight of seeds per head, and seed yield in 2016. However, during the markedly dry 2017, the varietal effect was not significant for any trait measured. Foliar application of ARATI NAWOZ significantly (P < 0.05) increased height at
maturity, the weight of seeds and head per plant and seed yield relative to the control in both years. Significant Variety × Fertilizer interaction effect was also recorded on the height at maturity, head diameter and weight, and seed yield in 2016. SAMSUN 4 (975.6 kg/ha) produced significantly (P < 0.05) higher seed yield than SAMSUN 1 (789.82 kg/ha) and SAMSUN 2 (778.54 kg/ha) in 2016. The efficacy of the application of both fertilizers was on par for most traits in both years. On average, the application of organic fertilizers resulted in a 15.76 and 69.02% increase
in seed yield relative to the control in 2016 and 2017, respectively. ARATI
NAWOZ and ARATI BAJA appeared promising for sunflower production in the humid tropics.

Increased demand for agricultural produces and out-of-season products in Nigeria together with gl... more Increased demand for agricultural produces and out-of-season products in Nigeria together with globalization presents a great opportunity for the export of agriculture. Nigeria’s agricultural sector does not lend itself easily to investment. Next to classic constraints such as insufficient infrastructure or insecure property rights, the production structure itself provides one of the most severe impediments to commercial development. Good planning and sound implementation are essential. Small-scale farmers have become vulnerable to ‘middlemen’ who have replaced marketing boards and who over time could manipulate market access, if left unregulated. Background information on the existing agriculture value chain development developmental for rural farmers is often overlooked. This includes information on the availability of reliable and cost-efficient inputs such as extension advice, mechanization services, seeds and credit, and guaranteed and profitable markets. t also provides a reliable source of supply to the investors, from the perspective of both quantity and quality. The document describes in detail the general modus operandi of agriculture value chain development with a focus on agroecology development of agriculture infrastructure called agro-corridor to optimize the value of biodiversity, water resource, and conservation agriculture for sustainable development of agribusiness. ARATI Tool Box® was developed more than one decade to offers a better opportunity to improve, optimize, and commercialize agriculture using state-of-art agriculture called Agriculture 4.0. Agriculture 4.0 combined internal and external interacting of farming operations, offering digital information at all farm sectors and processes represents a great opportunity to consider the variability and uncertainties that involve the agri-food production chain development. The components of ARATI Tool Box® are Agro-Corridor Development, ARATI ProSumer® , Farm Management, Contract Farming Ace 3+, Grazing / Livestock’s Breeding & Genetics, Trading Commodities - ARATI Trade X®, Human Capital Training, Farm Monitoring, Farm Surveillance, and Survey, Organic Seed Production, Renewable Energy and Solar; in Agriculture that holistically solves the agriculture sustainable issues in Millennium Development Goal (MDG).

'Altercating' defence, diplomacy and development encapsulate the United States foreign policy in relation to national interests globally. Role theory applied in comparing the United States and Chinese grand strategies as case studies. The United States superpower statecraft's clarity help superimposed any form of countervailing alliances globally; while China's sociological pragmatist role currently could change based on 'Power Transition Theory' for hegemony power. Beijing is pursuing a grand strategy that combines both 'internal balancing' and external 'soft balancing', encapsulated as 'warfare ecosystem construct' as countervailing alliances for balance-of-power strategies with development of 'Economic Corridors' in East Asia ; and the United States 'Globalization Agenda' both executed as 'mechanisms of power' date back to their 'hegemonic histories' with adaptive construct for national interests.

The rhizosphere modified by biofertilizer as agronomic management during cassava cultivation by the inoculants for microbiome engineering for integrated soil fertility management by the release of plant root exudates and microbial metabolites. Microbiome and the cassava crop are highly dependent on each other as the microbiome contributes a significant portion of the secondary genome of the host plant like quorum quenching strategies that suppress the virulence of pathogens, enhance high yielding cultivars and favorable environments for development. Rhizosphere engineering using biofertilizer can reduce and improves chemical dependant agriculture for resilience agriculture. Cassava genetic engineering integrated with biofertilizer can transforms the use of cassava cultivar for polluted soils phytoremediation and bio-energy crop cultivation in the tropics as re-generative agriculture technique for xenobiotic pollution management. The economic impacts will be development of remediation-to-biofuel economy of restorated polluted soils by conversion of the bioenergy crop cultivated into bioethanol. Cassava cultivation with biofertilizer accentuate regenerative agriculture as an integral potential for food security and sustainable development goals (SDG).

Defence policies can be understood as political, management, financial, administrative and executable mechanisms arranged to reach explicit military goals and objectives. Military policy differs from rules of engagement determine when, where, and how military force is to be used by formations and units. Military doctrine is the expression of how military forces contribute to campaigns, major operations, battles, and engagements. Military strategy deals with the planning and conduct of campaigns, the movement and disposition of forces, and the deception of the enemy. Military reform has been backed by strong political will on the part of the political leadership, as illustrated by the steadily increasing military budgets are all resultant impact of defence policies of any nation backed by national interest that drives military strategy. The role of defence policy on military strategy examples includes (1) Addressing the defence challenges posed by the Internet of things (IoT) seems likely to require more broadly empowered military cyber resources, an expanded effort to set standards and regulate internet-connected products, and a "Whole of Nation" defence policy approach (2) Tools and levers of Russia's Security policy using the Military; and (3) Development of the US Military's Use of Social Media are all examples that epitomize the impacts on defence policy on military strategy. The defence policies of nations have changed as results of modern conflict scenarios of the twenty-first century.

It is useful to examine the experience of developed countries to better understand the different types of university-industry collaboration, motivations to form these agreements and barriers to cooperation, as well as the role of public policy in fostering such linkages. Building effective university-industry linkages in this context takes time and sustained effort, in part because universities in African countries generally have little experience in industry collaboration and limited managerial capacity in research and development.

Sewage is highly implicated in cases of acute morbidity and mortality among little children in Nigeria.The system consists of a number of contiguous shallow (one metre deep) square/rectangular beds opening into each other by small windows such that there is a continuous free flow of sewage through the beds from raw sewage from the central sewage collection point. Channeled into a surface holding tank from where it is piped into the system through the first bed while the purified effluent is discharged from the last bed. All the beds are seeded with adapted water hyacinth plants to grow on and withstand the toxicity of raw sewage -Bioabsorbent. In addition, the long feathery free floating microbial hyacinth plants roots filter off the pathogens in the sewage. Hence, what comes out from the last bed is clean, odour-free, good quality water, safe for discharge into the environment. The sewage also gets detoxified by OBD-Plus microbes. Deployed at Covenant University Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria,2003.

National peace revival encapsulates ‘peace change-makers’ to address issues the wicked problems like Insurgency, Farmer-Herders conflicts, cultural and structural violence nationwide, where the contexts include inter-tribal, inter-ethnic, inter-religious violence; gender inequality; exclusion of minorities (Interna Displaced Persons "IDPs", refugees, people with a disability); post-conflict trauma response; and reconciliation and reintegration. Adopt a participatory approach that integrates conflict sensitivity, participation, and empowerment of girls, women, men, and non-state actors. Two decades into the 21st century, conflict remains primarily an intra-state phenomenon. Military diplomacy shows that countries are more peaceful and prosperous when women are accorded full and equal rights and opportunities. To bring about peace and prosperity, National Peace Revival, Abuja, Nigeria 2025 is promoting better understanding and integration across all our agencies, actors, and non-actors. Civilians bear the overwhelming brunt of today’s conflicts. Preventing conflicts and building peace in Nigeria threatened and affected by insurgency, violence, and insecurity critically affects Nigeria's national and food security. It is guided by the following five principles:
i. First, the engagement and protection of women as agents of peace and stability will be central to Nigeria’s efforts to promote security, prevent, respond to, and resolve conflict, and rebuild societies.
ii. Peace and security will complement and enhance existing initiatives to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment, ensure respect for human rights, and address the needs of vulnerable populations in crisis and conflict environments.
iii. Guided by the principle of inclusion, seeking out the views and participation of a wide variety of stakeholders -insurgents, women and girls, men and boys, and members of marginalized groups, including youth, ethnic, racial, or religious minorities, persons with disabilities, displaced persons and people from all socioeconomic strata.
iv. Engaged international partners to advance the implementation of United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 1325, and to make significant progress toward the goal of sustainable peace and security for all.

Workshop Brief: Credible evaluation is a key to the sustainable and rapid agricultural developme... more Workshop Brief:
Credible evaluation is a key to the sustainable and rapid agricultural development of any country. This requires policies and methods that emphasize efficient and effective evaluation. The procedures must be well guided by experts with adequate representations of all the stakeholders that are involved in the planning of the programme. Greater emphasis on accountability in the delivery of extension programs has put new focus on techniques for evaluating such programs. It is hoped that improved access to sound information on evaluation methods will be reflected in better planning of agricultural projects, and hence more efficient use of industry funds and sustainable development.
Objectives and Purposes
Understanding monitoring and evaluation requires distinguishing monitoring, evaluation and audit as these are complementary but different exercises. Monitoring is a continuous task of reviewing information, systematic stocktaking of budgetary inputs, and financed activities. Monitoring generates quantitative data. It gives feedback on the proper implementation of instruments/
measures, facilitating corrections of deviations from operational objectives. Monitoring contributes to making public spending accountable and provides valuable information to be used in the evaluation of instruments/measures. Evaluation, on the other hand, involves a judgment of interventions according to their results and impacts and the needs they aim to satisfy. It is a systematic tool which provides evidence for decision making and improves effectiveness, usefulness and efficiency. Moreover, evaluation contributes to improve transparency, learning
and accountability. Therefore, it allows drawing lessons for the future about what works, in which circumstances and why (or why not). The focus of the audit is the correct administrative and financial management of instruments/measures. Generally, monitoring and evaluation are carried out to check to what extent policies and initiatives achieve the set objectives and to develop recommendations on what can be improved in the future. Their results play an increasingly important role to contribute to:
i. Timely and relevant advice to decision-making and providing input to political priority-setting;
ii. Organisational learning: the results of an evaluation can be used to improve the quality of
ongoing intervention and in the development, implementation and design of policies. Moreover, they can identify opportunities for simplification and reduction of regulatory burdens for future policies;
iii. Improving the legitimacy, transparency, accountability and demonstrating the added value of FMARD action; and
iv. A more efficient allocation of resources between interventions, between the separate elements of a specific program or activity, or between activities. Monitoring and evaluations results are key instruments to inform evidence-based decisions about effective spending on policy measures.

Two field experiments were carried out at Badeggi, Niger state in 2011 and 2012 to evaluate the response of lowland rice to a bio-fertilizer (OBD). The experimental field was laid out in a strip-plot design with five treatments and three replications. Twenty-one days old seedlings of FARO 44 and FARO 52 rice varieties were transplanted in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The fertilizer which was manufactured by Aratibiotech Limited, Abeokuta, Nigeria from agricultural and animal wastes embedded with microbial inoculants was applied solely or in combination with inorganic fertilizer. Plots without fertilizer application served as control.

The highest rice grain yield increase of 4.4 t/ha over the control in 2012 occurred in the plot where OBD was applied at 4t/ha in combination with ⅔ inorganic fertilizer’s recommendation. This is far more than Nigeria’s average of lowland rice grain yields of 1.5 t/ha. A lower rate of OBD at 3t/ha in combination with ⅔ recommended inorganic fertilizer was also promising for better net income from the rice farm. Improving soil fertility attendant increase in farm incomes will stimulate forward and backward linkages in the rural economy thereby increasing investment, employment with incomes in related activities.

This is why China is five to six times faster than the United States in defense acquisitions. Today, technology development cycles are consistently speeding up over time. This means that the annual change in technology is greater each subsequent year. A bigger one is that many of today’s national security challenges are simply not amenable to dual-use solutions. This means while all the new startups working in defense are focused on dual-use solutions, a handful of major defense contractors are left as ‘the only ones’ trying to address more ‘pressing challenges’. Startups working in national security are forced to either ignore major national security challenges or develop capabilities specifically for sale to ‘major contractors’.

Carl von Clausewitz “Centre of Gravity” (COG) as the point where all forces must be directed during the war, a seemingly singular point of focus, one must keep the dominant characteristics of both belligerents in mind no longer sustainable today. The new COG is the Internet of Things (IoTs) for threatre of operation.We developed Nigeria Insurgency Ecosystem (NIE) framework that encapsulate Industry 4.0 fourth industrial revolution, automation and data exchange in defence and manufacturing technologies for our case study. It includes cyberphysical systems, IoTs, and cloud computing capabilities as a platform for dual use technology economic corridor for military industrial complex and civilian economic development powered by Zamfara natural resources called ‘warfare ecosystem.’This new ideology ‘spatial polysingularity warfare’ will replace the insurgency dictum ‘grape bunch’for the military new era of robotic /electronic warfare as a ‘doctrine of war’ to diffuse the resilient armed insurgencies. Today, emerged the era of unrestricted warfare, where ‘everything matters and connected’ for military CoG, adaptive multiple domain operations - that transcend geography.

The concept resonates with the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems. Food sovereignty is a call-to-action and a framework of values to guide a holistic reconceptualization of our food system. The six actions of food sovereignty: focus on food for people, value food providers, localize food systems, put control locally, build knowledge and skills, and work with nature. Inclusivity is a cornerstone of food sovereignty's framework, respecting the rights of women and men, peasants and small-scale family farmers, pastoralists, and artisanal fisherfolk in North Eastern Nigeria-to build capacity by delivering results and co-value creation.

It also has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Nigeria is the third largest exporter of ginger in the world after China and India. The highest non-oil export foreign exchange earner for Nigeria produced 723,971.56 tons of Ginger and 90% was exported 2019.The country of production determines the types of ginger available to spice importers: Indian (Cochin and Calicut), Chinese, African (Nigeria and Sierra Leone), Jamaican, and Australian Indian (Cochin) and Jamaican gingers have a reputation of a high quality, with a light colour and delicate flavour. Nigeria ginger is darker in colour and higher in monoterpene content, giving a more pungent aroma with camphoraceous notes; it has a high oil content and level of pungency, therefore it is usually preferred for the production of oils and oleoresins. Gingerols are responsible for the ginger pungency, with (6)-gingerol being the most abundant. Nigeria is the largest exporter of dried ginger in Africa (not organic). In Western Europe countries such as U.K, Netherland, France and Spain are leading exporters of ginger extract. The global ginger market is projected to grow at 4.18% over the forecast period of 2018-2024. Global Ginger market to touch US$4.18 Billion* by 2022. For shipping, dried split ginger roots should be packaged in jute sacks of 50kg bags. The global demand post COVID-19 for organic Ginger cultivation will focus on Organic 3.0 - to enable a widespread uptake of truly sustainable farming systems, markets based on organic principles and imbued with a culture of innovation, of progressive improvement towards best practice, of transparent integrity, of inclusive collaboration, of holistic systems, and of true value pricing.
