The Executive Chairman of Origin Tech Group Nigeria, Prince Samuel Joseph Samuel, has urged Nigerians—especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs)—to align with President Bola Tinubu's agricultural revolution under the Renewed Hope Agenda and the Greener Hope Agricultural Productivity Programme (GHAPP).
He described agriculture as a catalyst for unlocking Nigeria's economic potential, stressing that SMEs and institutions must leverage opportunities across the agricultural value chain through innovation, mechanisation, and partnerships.

Samuel made this known while receiving members of the Governing Council of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, led by Vice Chancellor Prof. Adebayo Simeon Bamire, at the company's headquarters. He noted that with Nigeria's fast-growing population and rising food demand, building stronger collaborations with tertiary institutions and private sector players is critical for food security, job creation, and sustainable growth.
In his remarks, Prof. Bamire praised Origin Tech Group's innovative approach to transforming food systems and reaffirmed OAU's readiness to partner with the organisation. He added that SMEs, supported by strategic alliances and capacity-building initiatives, remain central to driving agriculture as a viable solution to Nigeria's economic challenges.
