Moringa oleifera is coming to limelight at least in the southwestern Nigeria for its medicinal properties. It is interesting to know that it is been consumed as vegetable for quite some time now in the North.
All the same, literature has it that moringa is very rich in vitamins, minerals and other micro-nutrients. It is a tree that develops rapidly with good root system. So, moringa holds a good prospect as a tree for agroforestry, animal feeds, medicinal extracts and food supplements for man. It also has the potential of introducing nitrogen into the soil as a legume and thereby revitalize marginal lands. Its production will ameliorate the problem of climate change.
Therefore, this publication of Ashaolu, V. O. et al is a vital addition to literature on the usefulness of moringa.
