Osinbajo claimed Nigeria produces 90% of the rice it consumes (False !) Despite the APC government’s promised agricultural revolution, Nigeria is still perceived to the world’s highest importer of rice according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Also, Rice farmers in Nigeria have recently reported a drop in output since last year due to higher input costs, insecurity and widespread flooding in the main growing regions. |

The funny thing is that all the new rice producing locations had NOTHING to do with Federal Government. it was State governments that mobilized through FADAMA & World Bank to farm rice. I was surprised Osibanjo didn't spend all his answers blaming Jonathan, which is all this government thinks is all the need to do and problems will evaporate. Lets wait for Mr. Empty Head Buhari. He will not say anything than shift blame on everyone else including blaming the dead Nigerians for dying and leaving him alive to solve the problem. Ask yourself in Nigeria did not have problems that other Presidents solved rather than making silly excuses and blaming the previous governments?
