The Challenges for Nigerian agriculture in 21-st centuryPeter Senkus
Modern-day Nigeria has emerged as Africa's largest economy, with 2014 GDP at over 568 billon USD . Thanks to the largest population in Africa and the strongest economy Nigeria is often referred to as the "Giant of Africa". Although oil has been playing the mayor role in the structure of Nigeria’s GDP the economic growth for over the last five years has been driven by growth in agriculture, telecommunications, and services.
Of course economic growth and stability makes Nigeria according to PwC “one of the potential power economies of the world” , but one the country is still facing several challenges economic, social and environmental. The biggest challenge is that according to the The World Factbook strong economic growth have not translated into a significant decline in poverty levels .
The government and President has announced plans to increase transparency, diversify the economy away from oil, improve fiscal management and working to develop stronger public-private partnerships for roads, agriculture, and power. That actions and activities are very positive, but because of significant differences between for example Europe, North America and Africa they should be designed specifically for Nigeria. The actions and activities should be strategically planed and follow latest developments of management and technological revolution like sustainability, knowledge sharing, Internet of things.
The paper presents the challenges and possible scenario for Nigerian agriculture, one of the most dynamic and important sector for Nigerian economy, that produces not only economic output but could be nowadays fundament for welfare society supporting it with food,

OTOP Philippines: Enhancing the competitiveness of rural enterprisesFelix Tonog
Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) dominate the Philippine business sector particularly in the rural areas. The Philippine government adapted the One Town, One Product (OTOP) program as a job generation and poverty reduction strategy to promote the creation and growth MSMEs. The study reveals that after six years of implementing the program, it has generated positive results in terms of investments, sales, enterprises assisted and jobs generated. Despite certain limitations and misgivings in its implementation, the study concludes that the program was successful in upgrading rural enterprises and linking them with the mainstream market. Conversely, the entrepreneurs deem the OTOP-Philippines very useful and they are satisfied with the kind of support that their businesses are receiving through the program. Some observations and recommendations for reforms were put forward to make the program more relevant and effective.
The major problems that have been identified are, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, homelessness and crime and violence. Poverty is the condition, when the individuals experience scarcity of resources that are necessary to sustain their living conditions appropriately in my slide we can learn more about this

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
