We’re Tackling Food Crisis, Economic Hardship – Governors by Fareke: 3:35pm On Mar 10

Governors of the 36 states of the federation say they have been introducing different strategies and measures to end the current economic hardship and food crisis in their states.

In a report signed by its Acting Head of Media, Halimah Salihu Ahmed, the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) said the governors were committed to ending the pain and suffering of citizens in the land.

Recall that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had met with the state governors at the Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, in February, where issues of hike in food prices, economic hardship and others were deliberated upon with a view to preferring solutions.

The NGF report disclosed that Kwara State governor and chairman of the NGF, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq in collaboration with Governors Agbu Kefas of Taraba State; Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State; and Ahmed Ododo of Kogi State were pushing for increased crop production through the federal Ministry of agriculture to address food shortages.

The report reads in part, “In Kano State, authorities raided warehouses where traders are suspected of hoarding food supplies. In Yobe State, government banned bulk purchases of grains from local markets to stop hoarding and exports across Nigeria’s borders.

“In Niger State, Governor Mohammed Umar Bago announced a ban on the mass purchase of foodstuffs from local markets. He ordered security forces to confiscate trucks carrying products in bulk and share the food to the people.

"The Ekiti State Government has committed the sum of N1 billion to improve food production, especially to embark on land preparation, driven by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security’s tractorization subsidy scheme, and an input supply programme to support small scale farmers.

"In Zamfara State, last week, Governor Dauda Lawal hosted the Sweden Ambassador, Annika Hahn-Englund, on partnership on how to grow the state economy and address the current hardships. The Lagos State, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, expressed his government’s willingness to expand its relationship with the Netherlands in different sectors, especially the agricultural sector to ensure food security in the state.”

Most Governors are doing nothing to help their people.

Some are rushing into constructing roads because it is one of the surest ways that Governors steal.

stop stealing Local Government funds in the name of Joint Allocation..

LG allocations are meant to develop the grassroots, develop the local markets, Primary Health care system, construct local street roads, support the Primary Education systems but once it's stolen, all these local basic amenities suffer.. as we can all see across the country.. Government Primary Schools and PHCs are endangered..

There were times in this country when Local Governments had Agric Depts, with tractors and other heavy agric machines. They are all pipe-dreams today. What happened to the times when LGs run Primary Health Systems very effectively where a pregnant woman can be safely delivered at Primary Health Care centres in the LG... when some of us went to public Primary schools with dedicated teachers in the 90's, and we heard they were even better in the 80's..

All the governors have perfected a system where they plant their stooges as LG administrators or in few cases Chairmen, who report and take directives from the Auditor General of Local Government. The chairmen are paid like civil servants, the rest of the LG funds is at the governor's discretion..

Stop stealing LG money !!!!

With Fulani headsmen on rampage, threatening the lives and properties of farmers and the government is yet to do something about it?

If only people can peacefully do their farming. Handouts are not sustainable.
Moreover, there are people that can never go to queue for rice, no matter how hungry they are.
Self worth and self esteem are the values that make a man.

Pls u guys should stop talking.... You collect fuel allowance, you even budget for food allowance, running into billions, u come out and share a quarter bag of rice for like 1000 people in a community and say you're tackling food crisis....

D government failed in it's responsibility to secure borders, people smuggled subsidised fuel accross to other countries, because of that u said you're going to remove subsidy on fuel because of your irresponsibility....

There's no food scarcity, it's jst 2 expensive for people to buy....

YOU ARE TACKLING THE MONSTERS YOU CREATED.

SINCE 2012 INSECURITY HAS BEEN A PROBLEM BUT YOU PEOPLE CHOOSE TO BE POLITICAL ABOUT IT, AND SOME OF YOU WENT AS FAR AS SPONSORING IT.

EVEN USED IT AS AN ELECTION PROMISE SEFF...
THEN FARMERS WERE BEING KILLED AND FARMLANDS TAKEN OVER. NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT, INSTEAD, YOU TURNED IT INTO A MONEY LAUNDERING VENTURE IN THE NAME OF NEGOTIATION WITH TERRORISTS FOR THE RELEASE OF VICTIMS.

TILL WHEN THE SMALL FIRE YOU HAD CONTROL OVER WAS TOO BIG FOR YOU TO CONTROL AND YOU CAME OUT WITH ONE RUGA PLAN TO INTEGRATE THEM INTO EVERY STATE. THANKS TO OUR ANCESTORS THAT MY STATE GOVERNMENT AND OTHER SOUTH-SOUTH GOVERNORS REJECTED IT.

NOW THE THING DON LEAD TO FOOD CRISIS BECAUSE ONA DON KILL OUR FARMERS.
THEN ONA COME WITH STUPID MONETARY POLICIES THAT CAUSED INFLATION. BECAUSE OF THOSE OF ONA WEY DE USE BULLION VAN LOAD MONEY GO HOUSE, ONA NO WAN COMOT THE OLD NAIRA NOTE FOR THE SYSTEM, NOW WE GET EXCESS OF NAIRA PRINTS AND THATS THE CAUSE OF THE HARDSHIP.

ONE WEEK IN POWER I WILL ACHIEVE WHAT ALL OF THE IDIOTS IN POWER CAN'T ACHIEVE IN 8YRS.

NOT BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO, BUT BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO.
