No Hunger in Nigeria, Says Ex Agric Minister

From Sufuyan Ojeifo in Abuja, 07.23.2008 (ThisDay Newspaper)


Minister of Agriculture in the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Alhaji Adamu Bello, has dismissed  claim that Nigeria was facing food crisis, saying the country was blessed and not among “hunger nations.”
Food Agricultural Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations (UN) recently classified some countries as ‘hunger nations’.
Bello, who said he took responsibility for all the actions and inactions of the Ministry of Agriculture under the Obasanjo government, added that Nigeria was not faced with food  crisis.

Well, if this politician is not kidding me then I'll say that's some good news. Ain't it?
