Nigerian Agriculture Minister Akinwumi Adesina has been named the 2013 Forbes African of the Year beating Nigerian billionaires Aliko Dangote and Jim Ovia.
Adesina was given the award for his reforms to the country’s farming sector.
Aliyu Tanko from BBC Hausa says Adesina has introduced more transparency into the supply and distribution of fertiliser, which had previously been marred by massive corruption.
Now you understand that Forbes African Person of the Year isn't about wealth, but how effectively you impact on people's lives.
