The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has attributed the current tomato scarcity in the country to Boko Haram. The staple has been very expensive in the last two months as a result of acute scarcity, which the federal government blamed on tuta absoluta, a pest also known as ‘tomato ebola’. The Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, had said the government was making efforts to contain the outbreak which had ravaged six states. But speaking in an interview on Channels Television wednesday, Mohammed said insecurity in the North-east had forced many farmers out of the zone. “People talk about the price of tomato but they forget one thing; that the price of tomato today is a direct result of the fact that we have lost two years harvest to Boko Haram insurgency.” “Most of the people you see riding Okada (motorcycles) in Lagos are people who would have been in the farm to produce consumable items, he said. When asked if he was convinced that the tomato scarcity could be attributed to insurgency, he said: “Absolutely! Do you farm where there is war? We have lost two seasons of harvest, in addition we have had very poor rainfall last year and this year. These are the combined factors responsible for the scarcity of tomato. Go and ask economists and agriculturists, they will tell you.” Mohammed, according to The Cable, also said the prevalence of clashes between farmers and herdsmen was as a result of climate change, saying government refused to heed past warnings on the situation. “When you look at the herdsmen and farmers clashes, I think it is neglect of many years. More than 15, 20 years ago, we were warned all over the world that as a result of climate change, there could be conflicts and we should take steps to avert such clashes, but we did not listen,” he said. “What is happening is that there is a gradual reduction in natural resources. If you take Lake Chad for instance, it has lost almost 90 per cent of its waters over a couple of years and Lake Chad sustained and supported livelihood of farmers and fishers, with the loss of waters, you see a migration southwards. Now government all over the world were warned that these were the consequences of climate change.” http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/06/02/lai-mohammed-blames-tomato-scarcity-on-boko-haram/ Cc: lalasticlala |
