Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has visited the Soilless Farm Lab, owned by Nigerian farmer Samson Ogbole, who went viral for his innovative soil-free farming techniques.
During his visit, Obasanjo was seen uprooting fresh vegetables at the facility, showcasing his interest in modern agricultural advancements.


He was accompanied by traditional rulers, including the Olota of Ota, as well as other dignitaries.
The Soilless Farm Lab, led by Samson Ogbole, has gained recognition for its pioneering approach to sustainable farming, where crops grow without soil by using nutrient-rich water or air-based techniques.
This method not only maximizes efficiency but also ensures healthier and faster-growing plants.
The farm cultivates a variety of export-quality vegetables, including Ugu (pumpkin leaves), Shoko, Tete (green amaranth), Ewedu (jute leaves), Bitterleaf, and Habanero peppers.
Each crop is carefully grown to meet international standards, making them suitable for both local consumption and global export.
