President Muhammadu Buhari again on Friday took a swipe at his predecessors, saying trucks conveying fertilizer disappeared “miraculously” in transit under previous governments.

Buhari spoke while granting audience to members of the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He expressed delight that contrary to what happened under previous governments, none of the 3,333 trucks that participated in the fertilizer programme of his administration in 2017 got missing.

He promised that his administration would continue to provide adequate security in order to sustain the programme.

“Unlike in previous governments where trucks conveying fertilizer would miraculously disappear in transit, in 2017, none of the 3,333 trucks that participated in this program went missing," the president said.

“I want to assure all participants of the PFI that, we will continue to provide adequate security so that this program, and its positive impact on Nigeria, is sustained."

While acknowledging the partnership among the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development and state governors to ensure Nigeria feeds itself, Buhari urged them to continue on the track.

He urged stakeholders to continue to support programmes like the PFI and work together to ensure that the country never returns to the dark days of import dependency

“The rains are upon us. Farmers in the Southern part of the country will be planting soon. We must all do our bit to ensure fertilizer is readily available."

“Therefore, the Ministry of Finance and Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority should immediately engage the Governors Forum to conclude their orders."

“The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development should conclude the planning for all government programmes for the 2018 season to ensure synergy."

NaijaMutant:
Buhari should just shut up


He is becoming irritating.


I still reiterate that wisdom can ever come out of the mouth of Buhari except from reading a prepared speech

SamoaJoe:
Buhari is highly irresponsible.

There was corruption under the last admin:
There is corruption now.

School children were kidnapped in Borno under the last admin:
They've been kidnapped in Yobe under this admin.

There was no nepotism under the last admin:
Nepotism is the middle name of this admin.

Trucks of fertilizer disappeared under the last admin: Trucks of human beings are disappearing under this admin.

Bubari your government is taking great delight in failure. Resign or simply drop dead in office you iddiot!
