BREAKING: Tinubu Declares State Of Emergency On Food Security

The President also directed that all matters pertaining to food and water affordability be included within the purview of the National Security Council.

President Bola Tinubu has declared a state of emergency on food security in Nigeria.

Presidential spokesman, Dele Alake, made this known while briefing State House correspondent on Thursday.

The President directed that all matters pertaining to food and water availability and affordability, as essential livelihood items, be included within the purview of the National Security Council.

The directive was said to be in line with the Tinubu administration’s position on ensuring that the most vulnerable are supported.

Alake said President is not unmindful of the rising cost of food and its effect on the pocket of citizens.

The President also directed the immediate release fertilizers and grains to farmers and households to mitigate the effects of the subsidy removal.

“There must be an urgent synergy between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Water Resources to ensure adequate irrigation of farmlands and to guarantee that food is produced all-year round.” the President was quoted as saying.

“We shall create and support a National Commodity Board that will review and continuously assess food prices as well as maintain a strategic food reserve that will be used as a price stabilisation mechanism for critical grains and other food items. Through this board, government will moderate spikes and dips in food prices.

“To achieve this, we have the following stakeholders on board to support the intervention effort of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu: The National Commodity Exchange (NCX), Seed Companies, National Seed Council and Research institutes, NIRSAL Microfinance Bank, Food Processing/ Agric Processing associations, private sector holders & Prime Anchors, small holder farmers, crop associations and Fertilizer producers, blenders and suppliers associations to mention a few.

“We will engage our security architecture to protect the farms and the farmers so that farmers can return to the farmlands without fear of attacks.”

The President said the Central Bank of Nigeria will continue to play a role of funding the agricultural value chain.

He said 500,000 hectares of have already been mapped land to increase availability of arable land for farming.

Tinubu said revenue from food and agricultural exports would be increased.

A suspected militant group believed to be the Black Marines, operating in the Atabong East high sea, Idabato subdivision in the Bakassi Peninsula has reportedly attacked a speed boat and shot two persons dead.

A reliable source in the area told our reporter that the incident happened Thursday morning.

Another added that the militants also carted away helmets and other items meant to be delivered to oil workers.

The sources said they are thought to be pro-Biafran separatists, adding that the boat belongs to some foreign oil workers.


They said the boat was conveying cartons of helmets to deliver to oil workers at the maritime border in Bakassi Peninsula.

The incident has left both Nigerians and Cameroonians panicking.

Authorities are yet to react to the incident.

franchasofficia:
Is this bitter rant necessary? You made a beautiful post but spoilt it with this unnecessary bitter comment.


I am Igbo, a reputable man from my community is Femi Otedola's close friend and ally right from the time of Goodluck. He was among the people that mediated for Otedola when he was bankrupt and Goodluck bailed him. He visited Otedola almost monthly in Ghana where Femi was spending most of his time then until Goodluck came to power and bailed him. He is Igbo, he is closer to Femi Otedola than you that's same tribe with Femi Otedola.



My point is, only poor wretched and bitter people carry tribalism on their head like gala even when there is no need to.



I lived in Lagos for years, Lagos favored me a lot. I owe Lagos state tribute for my life's success. I cherish Lagos even more than my own state. I never wished Lagos bad, in fact I once wished Lagos could become a megacity like Paris, reason I supported a change in government in Lagos so Lagos can achieve its full potentias. I never for once disrespected Lagos and will never do. I paid all my levies and dues and even tax to Lagos state government. I contributed in my community development in Lagos because I was once a committee member of my LCDA and estate. We ensured we had adequate security. The chairman of my estate landlord and tenants association for over 6 years was an Igbo man.



Many of you go about spreading falsehood about Igbos and causing unjustified hatred for Igbos by falsely lying that Igbos don't honor or respect their host and I keep wondering how? This worthless claim only come to limelight every 4 years in Lagos that its election time that Lagos APC use the tactics to deceive bigots like you to vote for them and attack Igbos yet you refuse to use your wisdom.



Tell me categorically how Igbos disrespect Lagos indigenes in Lagos?



Don't start that Lagos is a no man's land mantra cos it was a positive slang started by a Yoruba man who was Lagos Governor and some Igbos used it to explain how welcoming Lagos is to everybody without discrimination. Never for once did Igbos contest to become Oba in Lagos or attacked Lagosians in a bid to snatch and take over their lands like Fulani herdsmen do yet you never for once condemned Fulani tribe for that.



God and divinity will judge people like you. Be careful in life, life is deeper than internet fun and cruise catching cos u are causing heavy hatred and distortion of truth with the potential of causing genocide and ethnic civil war.



What crime did Igbos commit in 2023? That Peter Obi an Igbo man contested for Nigeria's President? First time Igbos massively supported an Igbo Presidential candidate after Igbos supported Presidential candidates from other tribes; Shagari (Hausa), Obasanjo (Yoruba), Yaradua (Fulani), Goodluck (Ijaw), Atiku (Fulani) yet you guys have been going on rampage just because Igbos supported an overqualified and competent Igbo Presidential candidate for once.



Be honest, if it was Igbos that produced Obasanjo from 1999 to 2004, Osinbajo from 2015 to 2023, and still insisted they must produce next President in 2023, how will Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis have reacted to it? You guys would have told the whole world how greedy, heartless and arrogant Igbos are and trying to dominate Nigeria. God is watch you all

Morenikeji090:
Lol tell them ooo... I'm so proud to be Yoruba ooooo..

drlateef:
They will not hold their governors to account. Rather they will run away from the crumbling state to Lagos. Then they will claim Lagos belongs to them.

Yet some mediocres were ready to choose an Empty Barrel from Anambra over an open eye son of Eko?

Idiot.

Dem no born IPOB/ESN well to near SW

Throwback:
Their inferiority complex is worth studying as a sociology project.

SamboAnguissa:
When Yorubas set standard, they don't catch up. They wail their lives away. You don't know the level of inferiority complex these bonobos suffer at the mention of Yoruba. On twitter yesterday Reno was appreciating some aspects of Yoruba culture. Without mentioning ibbo, one okpa munching goat commented saying he didnt know why Reno hated ibbos. See this thread listing first profs. Without mentioning tribe, all other tribes read and passed, but one of the children of perdition must come to show his inferiority complex. I don't blame them though. They don't have history, and they were still walking about naked in the 20th century.

Throwback:
What is it with these insecure fellows?

The very first Black African professor of any university in Africa was Professor Oladele Ajose who is No 25 on that list, and that was way before independence. And he attained it after many years practicing as a medical doctor in the field of public health and in the academia.

Despite being the most senior African member of the school Senate at the University of Ibadan, Igbos like Azikiwe and Akanu Ibiam still ensured they used their power to appoint an Igbo Kenneth Dike ahead of him to become the 1st indigenous School Principal (VC). Even Prof. Kenneth Dike was afraid to accept the undeserved position that his Igbo clansmen had 'forced' on him.

So keep shut with your insecurities and defeated ambition to dominate and label it merit.

When Yorubas set African standards, all you can do is to catch up as usual.

Almaigaa:
You don't need to be a full time customer of Ashawo to know this. Go to Obalande in Kaduna, go to Sabon gari in Kano, go to Old Airport in Sokoto or come to Igbague by mission Road here in Benin and see things for yourself.

These are places that Brothels dominate in those States that I mentioned. You can learn how to speak Igbo in a month in these places. The reason is because, all the ladies in these places are Igbo

Almaigaa:
That's why there women do Ashawo before them marry. They must do Ashawo work in a brothel. When they retire, they will go to their region and marry. Visit any Brothel. You will notice that, over 98% of the ladies in the Brothel are from that region

ImperialYoruba:
Excuse me?

Statutory rape
Human trafficking
Abuse of minor
Baby laundering
Unlicensed prostitution
Human harvesting for ritual
Human harvesting for restaurant delicacy

To an ibo, it is not bad market, this is normal to you considering your history of cannibalism.
To rest of us, this is satanic and repulsive.

Nvestor02:
Easternbull Region Contribute nothing but they want everything to be theirs 😂

Minority in everything.

TheNiceGuy:
No one should mind that child of HATE.

Of the 13 Zonal headquarters of fire service in Nigeria Osun is one, Anambra is none.

You all would know what it entails to be Zonal headquarterbof fire service.

In Nigeria, Osun is the least State you'll heard of that the people of the State fights fire fighters for whatever reason.

BossGerald:
Where is osun fire service??

intellisquard:
See these OBItuaries making fun of Yorubas, either you like it or not, Yoruba is presently ruling you and there's nothing you can do about it than to wail and shout till you peme...

XerXers:
Radio station on fire, no fire service at sight. The people couldn't even improvise like Anambra people

tollyboy5:
If ogun state is benefiting from lagos what about Oyo state?

I've come to notice anambra people love making noise. You will hardly see an imolite making noise of how imo state is most developed in thr east. Anambra noise makers should rather thank soludo for his economic plans that is saving the state instead.

igwebuike01:
You didn't understand the data you quoted. It said "projected internal revenue". This is the deficit between budget and federal allocation. It's not as if those state have generated the money, infact, thats a room for more borrowing. Meanwhile, revenue generation is not a measure of economic growth. GDP and FDI are the real deal

jumper524:
I'm sure we both know the FG is in charge of security not governors, I'm sure we both know that majority of southern kaduna is located in the rural part of kaduna so you blaming elrufai of not developing there is like blaming state governors for development in state capitals while ignoring rural areas.
Severally elrufai has criticised even Buhari for using soft hands on bandits.
I remembered vividly when elrufai proposed employing foreigners to tackle those bandits CAN opposed it.

LegendHero:
Lol 😂

Go and check the stats, the most poor states in the South are domiciled in the South East.

Yorubas are living large, contented with our region and jolloficating with our Owambe.

If your people have not left that wretched poor region of the SE, they can never succeed. That’s why almost 80% if well to do Igbos live and make money outside their region.

LegendHero:
At least I dey work while loading moto and will get paid.

Your own people dey die of hunger from sit at home commanded by IPOB terrorists coz they can’t go to work.

Who is smarter?

Chibuezem:
agbero is a general slang for tout shey you know all states have agbero who can be manipulated by government and politicians to deal with taxation, citizens and political opponents.

LegendHero:
Agbero is 1 million time better than IPOb terrorists.

—Agbero in Lagos generate revenue for the state government.

—Agbero are not cannibals like IPOB

—Agbero don’t declare sit at home like IPOB terrorists

—Agbero don’t burn houses and hotels of enemies like IPOB terrorists

—Agbero don’t kill pregnant women like IPOB terrorists

—Agbero leader in Lagos have fantastic children trained at MIT

Obi of Onitsha and all SE governors should write to MC Oluomo to come to the East to train IPOB on how to be useful for the state.
