We are saying the same thing, on paper very impressive but when it mattered most and it was time to eat the rice, it was no where to be found. That is the crux of the matter.

Report Highlights:
Nigeria’s wheat demand continues to rise and is attracting more third-country suppliers of inexpensive
wheat. Imports for 2013/2014 have been adjusted to 4.55 million metric tons as compared to 4.21
reported in the annual edition of this report. Imports for 2014/2015 are projected at 4.75 million metric
tons and the U.S wheat exports are expected to exceed 2.7 million metric tons in 2014/2015. Levies on
imported rice have also been introduced and incentives extended to investors in local rice
production/processing to fill market gap. Domestic rice production/processing have shown some
increases but they are insufficient to feed the mills and demand for rice continues to rise. Rice imports
are expected to contribute more than half of total supply in MY2014/2015. These are fueling informal
cross-border rice trade and loss of revenue to Nigerian government (GON). Demand for other grains

What more proof than price of bag of rice hitting up to 20k as soon as the importation of rice through land border was restricted? If the local rice production is as claimed, they would have immediately filled the gap created by the reduction in imports, instead it is taking 3 years to achieve that through the anchor program.

It was because of this type of fake statistics from the previous government that PMB had the impetus to decide to ban imported rice through land borders so that we could start eating the so called local rice that PDP claimed they were now producing only for all to discover it was all on paper as there was virtually no local rice and price of rice had to go up by up to 300%.

FarahAideed:
There is nothing to compare there ..Buhari is a stack failure , the only thing to compare him with is in the dictionary and it's the word FAILURE

Corruption is getting worse in Nigeria, according to the latest corruption perception index (CPI) released by Transparency International (TI) on Wednesday.

While the country scored 27/100 and was ranked 136th in 2016, the latest CPI scores Nigeria 28/100 but with a rank of No. 148 out of 180 countries surveyed — a significant 12 places below where it was the previous year.

This will come as a blow to the President Muhammadu Buhari administration who came into office on the strength of his anti-corruption credential.

Although the administration has put many suspects on trial and seized assets of politicians and government officials, it has also been accused of condoning corrupt practices by top government officials.

The index, which ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption in the opinion of experts and business people, uses a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean, according to TI.

NIGERIA NOW MORE CORRUPT THAN KENYA

An analysis by TheCable shows that Kenya, which was rated more corrupt than Nigeria in 2016, has now overtaken the west African country, climbing to 143 from 145.

Other sub Saharan African countries ranked higher than Nigeria are Botswana — whose joint 34 rank is the best in Africa — as well as Rwanda (joint 48) and Nambia (joint 53).

Nigeria is ranked 148 along with Guinea and Comoros.

In 2015, Nigeria scored 26/100 and was ranked 136 — although only 168 countries and territories were surveyed then.

New Zealand maintains the No. 1 rank with a score of 89/100, Denmark No. 2 with 88, while Finland, Norway and Switzerland are joint No. 3 with 85.

‘CORRUPTION FIGHT IN NIGERIA STALLED’

Meanwhile, the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), the national contact of TI, says it is “seriously worried” about the new but unfavorable trend in the fight against corruption in the country, as buttressed in the newly published CPI.

“On the African continent, Nigeria ranks 32nd position in Africa out of 52 assessed countries in 2017. While Botswana leads the continent with the record of competent and largely corruption-free public administration, Nigeria hopelessly falls behind with 27 points. In West Africa, Nigeria is the second worst country out of 17 countries leaving only Guinea Bissau behind,” CISLAC said in a statement released on Wednesday evening.

“This fresh setback in the fight against corruption confirms that grand-corruption, political corruption, nepotism, favoritism and bribery persist in Nigeria at all levels. It is CISLAC’s view that the negative perception is mainly a consequence of the inability to combat grand corruption and astronomical plundering of public coffers costing the Nigerian tax payers around 25% of annual GDP. Since the current administration has come to power on the anti-corruption ticket, no significant politically exposed person has been duly sentenced on anti-corruption charges,” it added.
