In spite of the price of the rice commodity spiralling out of control in the marketplace, Audu Ogbeh, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development recently declared that Nigeria is self-sufficient in rice and would soon ban rice imports completely...

Anambra and Ebonyi are sufficient in rice production
Why the competition? Can't you be proud of 2 of them at the same time. It is something for Ndigbo to be proud

It would be a welcome development if we are already self-sufficient.
We shouldn't focus on rice alone,palm oil and cocoa can be harnesses into a big source of national revenue as we can see in the case of Malaysia and Indonesia that export palm oil worth over $16 billion every year.

ASSEMBLED RICE?

All these old men and their fallacy dream. How on earth will Nigeria government produce millions bags of rice to meet the demand of her teeming populace? who made rice a daily stomach ritual... Let this CPC government end its tenure and let us see clearly who has a better thing to offer. In fact the age of President and his executive members should be pegged to 60 years and below and let other arms of government be 75 years below. Let the old/elderly men be on the Senate.It is seems this CPC government is not telling itself the truth. People are dying on a a daily basis as a result of hunger and you are talking about 2017 and once it is 2017,the story of rice sufficiency for Nigerians will change to 2018...Eledumare ,come save your people...

anambra is microcosm of Nigeria.

In fact, Kebbi is #1 in rice production in Nigeria but they are not making noise about it. Jigawa is not far behind either.

How much is rice now ?
