- Support for Farmers: The organization urges investors to establish Agricultural Cottage Industries to process and preserve agricultural products for export, while advocating for support and encouragement for farmers to engage in farming.
- ESN Protection: IPOB’s security outfit, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), pledges to protect farmlands from marauding Fulani herdsmen, ensuring a conducive environment for farmers to operate.
- Call to Action: IPOB calls on patriotic Biafrans to prioritize food sufficiency and invest heavily in agriculture, highlighting the importance of self-reliance in food production.
The statement underscores IPOB’s commitment to promoting food sufficiency and independence within the Biafran community, emphasizing the need for collective effort and investment in agriculture to achieve these goals.
