Osinbajo Meets Governors, Ministers Over Rice, Wheat by voiceoftheupcom: 6:44am On Feb 21, 2017 |
OSINBAJO MEETS GOVERNORS, MINISTERS OVER RICE, WHEAT source: http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/02/osinbajo-meets-governors-ministers-over.html The Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Monday presided over a meeting of the Presidential Task Force on Rice and Wheat as part of Federal Government’s efforts aimed at food security. Those who attended the meeting included four state governors -Abubakar Bagudu (Kebbi); Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano); Badaru Abubakar (Jigawa) and Dave Umahi (Ebonyi). The Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun; Minister of Agricluture, Audu Ogbeh; and the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, also attended. Bagudu later told State House correspondents that the meeting reviewed the government’s wheat programme and what can be done to increase production. He said, “This is the meeting of Presidential Task Force on Rice and Wheat and we reviewed the wheat programme and what we can do more to support states in order to increase production of wheat. “We also want to ensure that our farmers who have responded to the call are supported in terms of getting good price for their output in order to sustain their interests. “We reviewed where we are with rice production. The Acting President noted with satisfaction all the efforts be different stakeholders to attain sufficiency in the shortest possible time. “The Acting President assured the meeting that the Federal Government will continue to support the drive towards self sufficiency in food security. He said the government, of necessity, will support the farmers, the millers and other stakeholders involved in the value change.” When asked to confirm the claim that Nigeria is the second largest producer of rice in the world, the governor said he did not have the data. He however said farmers have responded and about 32 states have showed readiness to increase production. “I think we have done very well. We have remarkable increase in the number of states that have produced wheat from the last season. “Last season, we had about five states but today we are hearing reports from about 11 states and the increase in output per state is quite significant as well. “So we believe that with sustained trajectory that we are seeing, we will be able to achieve our self-sufficiency,” he added. 3 Likes

With time Nigeria will get there. Those that have ran away or that will run away will soon run back but hopefully by then they will need visa to get back to THEIR OWN country. 4 Likes |

The less we need to import foodstuff into this country, the better for our Naira value. FG should make a move to ban the importation of all kinds of foodstuff including but not limited to, rice, wheat, fish, tin tomato pastes, matches, groundnut and vegetable oil, and all other forms of edible consumables with the exception of apple of course, until we can plant and produce them here. Then they should increase the yield of our agric produce a million percent so that we can start exporting FINISHED and PACKAGED food products. I mean, come on, the green in our flag stands for agriculture and we are importing food? Damn! 7 Likes |

See what it means to have a young vibrant president... Even though am not a fan of APC, but Osinbajo has done in few weeks what Buhari will never be able to do in 4 years... We all knew Nigeria and Nigerians never needed someone like Buhari but nepotism, politics and religion belief had the better side of Nigerians at the last election.. Please for those of you that are his fans.. Please beg him to either stay in London for ever or better still resign... Osinbajo is more than capable... In these few days in charge he has brought government closer to the people... Unlike the fulani corruption fighter that we only get to hear from whenever he is abroad from the foreign press... Let's make Nigeria great again. 6 Likes |
