Agriculture is the most important sector in the Nigerian economy employing many Nigerians, including many rural women whilst contributing to the country’s GDP. Education function too in general, is responsible and fundamental in particular to, the construction of a knowledge economy and advancement of society in all nations.

Thus, this study recommends total rejection and resistance to non-innovative agriculture regime-production, zero tolerance for corruption and total commitment to the absolute rule of education function optimization for sustainable development in Nigeria.
