Paper Title
Food Crop Production of Lake Chad River Basin, Nigeria

Abstract
Food production is one of the primary challenges confronting developing countries. The main worry in developing countries has been how to produce enough food to feed their burgeoning populations. This concern has been voiced in statements, policies, and programmed issued by many national governments and international organizations. Farm settlements, the Green Revolution (GR) 1979, Operation Feed the Nation (OFN), National Accelerated Food Production Programmed (NADPP) 1986, and the River Basin and Rural Development Authorities (RBRDAS) 1984 are examples of government policies and programs in Nigeria that aim to increase food production and mobilized the rural agricultural population across the country. As a result, the RBRDAS were created with the goal of overcoming the challenges of diminishing crop output and supporting the spread of agricultural innovation to rural areas in ways that would raise agricultural productivity and improve the living standards of rural residents. Though the RBRDAS and other initiatives such as Operation Feed the Nation (OFN) and Revolution (GR) were born out of real government ideas that political independence could not exist if the country had to rely on external sources for a large share of its fundamental food supply (FDI). We believe that all such attempts or programs, particularly the RBRDAS, have failed to achieve the stated objectives in Nigeria.
