Product Description

In this painting by Abubarkar Nurudeen we are shown the plight of the fishermen of Nigeria. By showing the many empty fishing boats. Fish is an important dietary element and one of the few sources of animal protein available to many Nigerians. Fishing is carried on in Nigeria’s many rivers, creeks, and lagoons, and in Lake Chad; trawlers operate along the coast. The total fishing catch was 441,337 tons in 2000, not enough to meet national requirements. Both federal and state governments are encouraging the development of local fisheries, inland and at sea, by sponsoring research, stocking reservoirs, and offering training in improved fish culture and fishing gear. Fishponds have been established in the southern part of the country.
