Dr. Uyi-Ojo remarked that cases of land grabbing had become a daily routine across Edo communities, and that if it was not properly checked and brought to a halt, it might lead to scarcity of land for local food production, as many farmers had to pay exorbitant prices annually for hire of parcels of land for farming of staples commodities.
Speaking further, Uyi-Ojo hinted that across the globe, there was growing expansion of large scale oil palm plantations, adding that the expansion was growing because of oil palm usage in wide range of products and manufacturing including lubricants, medicine, cosmetics, soap making and oil for cooking.
