President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated that his administration is very keen on reviving the agriculture sector in order to meet local food demand; and diversify an economy that has been too reliant on crude oil proceeds.


Some of the president's unpopular economic policies have included closing the borders to spur local rice production and starving importers of food staples of forex.

“I am restating that nobody importing food or fertilizer should be given foreign exchange from the Central Bank.

“We will not pay a kobo of our foreign reserves to import food or fertilizer. We will instead empower local farmers and producers,” Buhari said on Thursday, September 10.

The president has often harped on young people returning to the farms, as perennial fluctuations in the global oil market hit the nation’s economy hard.

His administration’s mantra has been “we have to consume what we produce and produce what we consume.”

Abiiii....this old vegetable thinks Nigerian Youth ain't Educated

Lifeless president on earth

Why do this people think Farming is easy and free? So you know how many hecters of cassava you must farm before affording to rent a flat, drive a car and live comfortably? How many Chickens Cattles and livestock you must raise a year to get profit for a decent lives

His administration’s mantra has been “we have to consume what we produce and produce what we consume.”

Yet your wife went to Dubai to shop for your daughter's wedding gown. Are there no tailors, fashion designers and obiomas in Nigeria again?

Foolish nincompoop gworo chewing tooth pick leg president of a dilapidated Nation!

what will happen to the other sectors of the economy

As countries develop, the government sets up modern Mechanised farms so that more youths leaves agriculture and move into manufacturing and services i.e USA, Britain, Germany, Israel etc while Buhari wants to develop Nigeria by pushing more youths who have lost their jobs in manufacturing and services into matchet and hoe subsistence agriculture. Soon the midget vice president would tell us how our lives have improved under Buhari.

Sudanese republic

So much talk but little action "leaders".

Buharis fulani people would destroy the farms.

This is laughable, he call us lazy nigeria youth. Today he is tell us to go to farm. During Gej farms were empowered, food was more than enough both local and imported goods

What about his son Yusuf?

Yusuf had accident with motorbike the other time so he is disabled..

Farming is not the issue ...good seeds is the issue ....

A farmer in Nigeria gets 2 tons from rice at best .. Thailand u get 10 ..seeds is the difference

Same for corn

Same for soya

I can go on and on

Yusuf had accident with motorbike the other time so he is disabled..

Is his brain also disabled? As a farmer, u don't need to do the tedious work of farming urself. U get others do d work or use machinery.

Buhari is high aswear

It seems you don't have an idea the extent Yusuf's accident.. Remember he was flown abroad for the said accident.

People even jubilated across the street for his miraculous recovery when he returned....

So he is incapacitated to do any tedious work.

What Buhari cannot say doesn't exist
