Abstract

Nigeria currently faces a critical structural paradox: immense agrarian potential is heavily overshadowed by severe food insecurity and high youth unemployment rates. Current state interventions, notably the N-Power program, consistently fail to provide structural exit strategies, operating merely as temporary symptom relief. Furthermore, deep sociocultural distortions alienate youths from agriculture, driving them toward the shadow economy. This study rigorously evaluates these institutional deficits and proposes a comprehensive policy roadmap. Employing a qualitative public policy analysis alongside a systematic literature review, this research actively synthesizes the Conceptual Triple E Model with prosocial orientation reforms. The findings reveal that addressing the agricultural crisis requires mitigating cognitive deficits through civic literacy, followed by smart vocational training and structural empowerment via land tenure redistribution. Ultimately, achieving sustainable food sovereignty and capitalizing on the demographic dividend mandates a holistic public policy framework that transforms destructive mentalities into a modernized agrarian work ethic for national development.

Abstract

The normative mandate for food security in Nigeria faces systemic collapse, driven not by ecological deficits but by severe institutional pathologies and regulatory dysfunction. This study investigated the mechanisms of agricultural policy failure amidst extensive macroeconomic interventions. Utilizing process tracing and comparative policy analysis against agrarian transitions in Brazil and Vietnam, the research analyzed implementation data through qualitative thematic coding. Findings demonstrate that state interventions continuously suffer from elite capture within credit programs and mimetic isomorphism, creating structural decoupling between elite frameworks and local capacities. Furthermore, monopolistic land tenure regulations perpetuate tenurial insecurities and communal conflicts, inherently distorting agrarian productivity. Consequently, state capital injections cannot correct systemic vulnerabilities without transiting fundamentally from extractive rentier networks toward highly inclusive institutions. Offering an innovative food systems compact, this research proposes protected structural financing, decentralized tenure legalization, and polycentric governance, advancing institutionalism theory by directly linking tenurial security with global agrarian policy resilience.
