The Federal Government said on Saturday that it would stabilise the price of rice from April to make it affordable to everybody in the country.

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, made this known while declaring open the 2016 National wheat farmers field day in Alkamawa village in Bunkure Local Government of Kano state.

Ogbeh said that the stability of price of rice would be very viable due to its demand and affordability to the people from April.

He said the boosting of wheat production and other cereals had become necessary to reduce over dependence on importation.

The minister added that over 300, 000 hectares of land in wheat producing states would be dedicated to boost wheat production.

``The government will continue to support farmers to encourage agricultural activity, enhance food security and employment generation in the country,’’ he said.

According to him, the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will diversify the economy with greater emphasis on agriculture.

Ogbeh urged Nigerians to embrace agriculture to enhance their welfare and enable them become self reliant.

In a remark, Chairman Senate Committee on Agriculture, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, said the senate would make legislation to remove obstacles being faced by wheat farmers in the country.

On his part, the Gov. Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi said Kebbi would dedicate 70 per cent of the proposed 300, 000 for wheat production to boost its production.

Story for d gods

Really

this people no dey tire. Apc government cant even stabilize indomie price yet,they want to stabilize rice peice?

indomie hungry man size is now sold for 120 naira in my area, inatead of 100 naira. stabilize that first, you promised to stabilize oil price, see as oil scarce today, Abeg, leave our rice alone oo

PDP gave us a tecnorat Ankiwumi Adesina as Agric Minister While APC is giving us Pensioner Audu Ogbeh as Agric minister.
This Change get as e be.

Really- the rice we are producing abi?

Buhari keeps blaming those who ruled this nation in the last 16 years, and he still went ahead to appoint a former leader of the party that ruled the nation in the last 16 years as minister of agriculture.

Buhari is indeed confused.

AMEN!

Panic mode!

The APC led govt of federal republic of Nigeria is now in panic mode.

The position of the President and his ministers are drifting apart. In between the Ministers, you here A here and Z there; total lack of coordination, but essentially, no concrete action to base issued statements.

While Lai Mohammed released that the entire economy had spiralled out of hand, the geriatric minister of agriculture offers that govt would stabilise price of rice in less than 15 days!

Just to ask, mr Minister of Agric, have your govt planted any new rice field since inauguration?

Two, given the rate of your Govt's denial of campaign promises, are you really serious you want Nigerians to take you serious this time and hold you accountable for its achievement?

Good development but i dont see the serving minister overcoming the past minister in term of achievement

Make april reach now they will change date or deny the promise. Though the minister was corny enough not to name any price,these guys don dey learn from their mistakes of making point blank promises that they will need only outright denial to fulfill but now make inconclusive promises that's not specific so that they can amend their promises without stress or unnecessary lies.

April wot year pls?








Hope its not like stabilising world crude price or makin naira equal 2 d dollar.

This government!

Gyal! If only you really knew Audu Ogbeh's profile when it comes to Agriculture, you will know that ur comparism is faulty. Its like comparing coach Samson Siasia(Akinwumi Adesina) to coach Pep Guardiola(Audu Ogbeh). They are both good but not at the same class.

Sorry am not an APC fan.
