Once your food passes NAFDAC test and analysis , you are free to import any type of food , including beef and chicken and eggs , rice and onions etc


This will drastically drive down the spiralling price of food in the market .

This decision came today just 24hours after the president declared a state of emergency on food and hunger.

This may be an individual personal opinion. The implications would be that home made foods like local rice that have hitherto gaining popularity would now be less demanded.Apart from this,there would be less demand for similar home made materials whether of clothing, building etc.ln this regards,the gained of past years of self reliance would go into drain.However, the masses would be relieved of hunger and things would seemed fantastic but at long run economic will suffered. Ladies and gentlemen,self helped is best helped.

If true, I support it.

Though to the detrement local producers, since the region with the advantage of local food production have decided to extort us all through bandits inflating food prices to push for amnesty, let lower price imports drive sense into their thick skulls.

What has the border closure achieved so far?! Nothing! You can't boost local production or export by closing borders, that is a very crude method. Create and enabling environment for business, provide power, give incentives for for local businesses and make funds available for SMEs to access at very little interest rate, deliberate policies to stimulate production and see if our locally made products won't compete with imported ones. Business is all about competition.

10 years ago when I was in my hometown, I know women who wake up early in the morning and go to the farm, they stay till evening. Some even cook there and just sit under trees when they're tired in the end they're able to produce most of the food they eat but today they won't dare spend 5 minutes in same farm for fear of being raped and killed yet these people think closing the border is what will force people to plant things

Forget.
Home based production had not done Nigeria any good. We are more than what we produce. If borders are opened, especially the seme own, food stuff with be cheaper, people buying and doing okirika business will be smiling. At least, let there be a relief to all those suffering. E too much!

Annoying part is that our local farmers are too greedy.They take advantage of the border closure to wreak havoc on the masses. Their prices were even higher than foreign products.

A very welcome development.

Local food production was a plot to swell the pockets of the northern farmers and punish Nigerians. A plot most of us fell for without much understanding. They are expensive and yet not of high quality. Especially the rice.

Although this is fake news.

Make una dey deceive una self. Bag of rice wey I still buy for 34k in Abeokuta, Kuto Market last weekend to be precise. The woman was even complaining too about the high cost of goods, I replied her by saying "sebi eyin le ni e fe Yoruba " meaning, you all said you want Yoruba, so enjoy the change.

Thanks for your observation. Are you in away telling us not to be self reliance? How do we encourage indigenous farmers and entrepreneurs?

Although this is fake news.
