Cassava in Nigeria is a celebrated food crop because of its vast
and varied use. In every zone in the country, extensive projects
have been established to ensure considerable cassava production
and utilization. A typical example of an expansive cassava project is
the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) cassava project
in Edo State. There are also considerable cassava varieties available
at the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) at
Ibadan, Oyo state.
