Buhari congratulates ex-Agric minister, Adesina, on world food prize .

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said Nigeria remains proud of its former Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, for winning the 2017 World Food Prize Laureate.

Adesina, who is the President of the African Development Bank, is being presented the $250,000 prize and Laureate sculpture at a ceremony at the Iowa State Capitol, United States.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President’s congratulatory message was contained in a video message to the former minister.

The statement quoted Buhari as saying, “I received with delight the cheery news of your award as 2017 World Food Prize Laureate. Certainly, this did not come to me and many Nigerians as a surprise, given your antecedents and contributions to the development of agriculture across the African continent.

“We are very proud of you.

“According to the World Food Prize Foundation, you won the prize for driving change in African agriculture for over 25 years and improving food security for millions across the continent. Your choice as the winner of the World Food Prize is a clear recognition and appreciation of your long-standing contributions, reflected in your several roles and activities which promote social economic development.

“By dint of hard work, persistence, diligent efforts and God’s sufficient grace, you have risen above many limitations to emerge as a notable figure and a true champion. Your life story mirrors the resilience of the African spirit and doggedness for which Nigerians are well known.

“On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, I congratulate you and rejoice with you, your family and the AfDB family on this well-deserved honour.

“Congratulations!’’

I still don't. Understand why Buhari chose his kids admirers to invite to Aso Rock. Leaving us the Adults behind.....abi. Na turn by turn?

Buhari would not have appointed him to his government because of where he comes from

Congratulations to Mr Akinwumi Adeshina. He is firstly a Nigerian before party affiliation comes in. He should continue to work hard and do us proud.

The current deputy secretary general of the United Nations was picked straight from Buhari's cabinet. When Nigerians achieve a major feat internationally, we should celebrate them and not belittle their achievement with divisive political and tribal slur like your comment above. He's a Nigerian and we are all proud of his achievement.

Congratulation Mr. adesina

Adesina worked under the extra-corrupt regime but come-out with clean hand!
se bibire kose fowora

Jubrim knows that he has scammed his co-zombies.

Buhari has not made not one public statement or interview yet giving "statements" up and down.

YEAH RIGHT
