Geeman2006:
from my personal opinion , the only areas this Administration had major wins was in Infrastructure & Agriculture. Any other thing is story for the Gods.

Which agriculture? Na him food cost like shege?!

What would you then say about the efforts of GEJ's agric minister Adeshina who practically revolutionarized that sector.

What is the essence of having fertilizer blenders increased, 1. when there is no land to plant as bandits are in charge every where now.
2. when Govt said they are subsizing fertilizers, then Alots of people are going into blending and production in order to dump the people.
3. When a bag of fertilizer is close to 30000 naira.
4. when majority of the farmers can't afford fertilizer.
Then won't insecurity continue to be issue and government seems to be inactive.

God Bless Nigeria

What I know and nobody can brainwash me otherwise is that the hardship has frigging increase astronomically since then

Yea. It's costly but if you meet real farmers who can and are doing the farming, they will tell you how they have enjoyed this government.

Tell that to the marines.

Too much hunger in the land is a sign that this government is hopeless and useless. Who fertilizer help when this government can not create jobs. Ndi ara!

Mooh247:




The first major mistake the Military Government made is by Isolating the President in a fortress far away near Aso Rock and Jungle, to make matters worse roads and airspace are closed when he passes without any form of interaction with ordinary people

The President is so lost and far away from reality that people like Femi Adesina capitalise on this to tell Buhari nonsense and lies,

What's the use of fertiliser when bandits , Boko haram, iswap and Fulani herdsmen won't let you visit your farm




.

For the first time I agree with you comment 100%

ShenTeh:
Tell that to the marines.

I have met farmers not marines.

Seriously Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu only spill trash, price if goods and commodity keep going high...
Gunmen bandit keep destroying crops and farms, Monguno blaming Elrufai for telling the media they know the bandit and have their phone number when they should be behind bars

No one should complain in this country anymore...if you're hungry go soak fertilizer

People dying daily is not their business

presidency:
Last week on this platform, focus was on the fact that adversaries of the Muhammadu Buhari administration were hiding behind the smokescreen of insecurity to vent their spleen.

We stressed that security was everything, and noted that while robustly confronting the monster of insecurity, President Buhari was equally taking giant strides on many other fronts, which the caterwauling crowd deliberately ignores.

Today, let’s dwell on something they have deliberately refused to see, hear, and chose not to talk about. But whether they see it or not, talk about it or ignore, it is there, as conspicuous as a tiger in a tea shop.

A fortnight ago, members of the Fertilizers Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria (FEPSAN) visited the President at State House, Abuja. And among others, this information came out from Mr Thomas Etuh, President of the body:

“Mr President, before you created the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative in 2016, Nigeria’s fertilizer production base was almost zero. We had less than 7 companies producing at 100% of their installed capacity. Nigeria’s Urea output was reported at less than 300,000 tons.

“Today, Nigeria can boast of having some 70 NPK blending plants. 95% of this investment is from the private sector. This is a clear sign of the confidence investors have in Mr President’s policies and programs.”

From 7 to 70 blending plants just under Buhari! But why are they not talking about it? Because it doesn’t fit into the narrative they want Nigerians to buy and imbibe. The country is broken under Buhari. It is divided. He has made a poor job of leading the country. That is what the poor salesmen sell.

I hear! When you hate a baby, you claim that the midwife that begat him is a witch. What has that got to do with the innocent tot? Their snouts have been yanked from the honeypot, so they are throwing tantrums. Politicians, so-called civil rights activists, priests, talk show hosts, and many others. All they want is to have the illicit bread back. So they must create the impression that Buhari did nothing.

From 7 to 70. Why are they not talking about it? No, it doesn’t serve their interests, so they would pretend it didn’t happen.

The FEPSAN boss had many other things to say:

“In the past 2 months alone, you officially commissioned the Barbados NPK blending plant in Kaduna and the Dangote Urea plant in Lagos. ..Such an honour in a very short period clearly shows the love you have for us and your desire for FEPSAN to succeed. For many of us, we still cannot believe that a President would honour the invitation of not one, but two of our members within a short period of time. It is such open support that encourages our members to continue investing.”

But they said Nigeria was broken, and that the only thing happening was insecurity. How then did the 63 new blending plants spring up? If the investors didn’t believe in the country, would they invest such humongous resources? Would you put several millions of naira in a polity that could go up in smoke at the next minute? No, you wouldn’t. So, the fact that investors continue to put their funds here belie their narrative that Nigeria was broken, and nothing was working. They lie through their teeth just because of the lust for power, and filthy lucre. They pine and hanker after those days that you did nothing, and government just brought bags of money to you at home. Buhari wouldn’t do that, so they must badmouth him, paint him black, and run him out of town, if possible.

From 7 to 70 fertilizer blending plants in 7 years. Why are they not talking about it? No, they wouldn’t, because they want a return of those days when the country earns billions of dollars from oil, and it is used to oil their pockets. The rich get richer, and the poor gets prison. The new order pains them like mad.

Hear how Etuh described what used to happen in the country: “The low base reflects the adverse impact of historical Government policies that promoted the dumping of all sorts of imported fertilizer blends in Nigeria. Our farmers were forced to use imported fertilizers which in most cases are not compatible with the nutritional needs of our land.

“All this is now past. By the special grace of God...Nigerian farmers will never go back to those dark days.”

A resounding amen, somebody! Whether they acknowledge the good things going on or not, this country won’t return to the rent seeking era, where you sit idly, and because you are a priest, critic, social activist, media personality, politician, or what, they just bring loads of cash to your house to curry favor. Buhari hasn’t done it, he won’t do it, and we shouldn’t do it as a country.

From 7 blending plants to 70 under Buhari. Why are they not talking about it? It doesn’t favor their selfish intentions. It is said that in over 12 years, Nigeria has seen its highest consumption of fertilizers at 1.8 million tons per annum in 2021. But does it interest them? Never! They don’t care, and can’t be bothered.

“Today, many nations who rely on fertilizer imports are facing acute shortages as a result of the events in Eastern Europe. However, Nigeria remains one of the few countries in Africa and indeed the world, where fertilizer availability is not an issue,” Thomas Etuh said.

Truly, President Buhari is a man who saw tomorrow. He focused on agriculture, funded it massively, encouraged people to go back to the land, and we have a lot to be thankful for today.

In the wake of COVID-19 and the attendant global lockdown and food supply challenges, how would 200 million people have survived, if we were not producing what we eat locally, as encouraged by the President? But they won’t talk about it, because it doesn’t fit into their narrative. They only allege that the country is broken, divided, not recognizing that they were the very people breaking and dividing it with their mouths.

Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, disclosed at the FEPSAN meeting with the President that cumulatively, a total of N114.09 billion has been disbursed to support the fertilizer industry in the last five years. The interventions are long-term loans at concessionary interest rates. That’s what you call putting your money where your mouth is. In the past, such funds would have ended in the pockets of government officials, and in those of some priests, critics, and other jobbers. From 7 to 70 blending plants under Buhari. That’s why they are not talking about it.

Hear this information that came as I was concluding this piece. According to acting Comptroller of the Federal Fire Service, Dr Karebo Samson, in 2015, when Buhari came to office, there were only 3 functioning fire trucks in the country, two in Lagos, one in Abuja. But today, there are 189 brand new fire trucks in the Service, apart from new ambulances, water tankers, etc. Why are they not talking about it? It doesn’t serve their interest in portraying Nigeria as broken and divided.

They live their lives perpetually on the complaint counter. But with the realization of the progress being made by patriotic Nigerians, they will be soused and marooned in that inglorious place for a long time to come. The people are not ready to return to the dark past, whether those tiny but vocal minority talk about the good things happening or not. Forward we move.

How muchis a bag of fertilizer?

Can u compare it to what it was 7yrs ago when we had ZERO blending plants in the country?

Buhari knows how to choose fools i swear, he inturn make them more foolish

This from 7 to 70 you're talking about where is the impact?
How much of the said fertilizer is available to the average farmers.
That you bribe some members of an associate to sing your praise doesn't mean what they sing of you exist in reality. Even the cockroach in the cupboard knows that this govt is a failure.

From 7 to 70 yet no change in price, Nigeria are wiser

Lols! This Presidential Spokeman. You know nothing.

Take a trip down north and see for yourself. Farmers now are digging and clearing drainage to serve as manure for their farms because of their inability to buy fertilizer. And I am not just talking about some small clearing and digging, it is done on a large scale. I have never seen this before in all my life in the north.

This man truly knows nothing.

Npk is now expensive

mrvitalis:
Sure but how has that affected the price of fertilizers ?

What was the price in 2016 what are the price now ...you should not just do policy for doing sake

Of what use are blending plants when people can’t farm or go to their existing farms?

If there is demand we should probably check if bandits and BHM are creating this demand.

I rise

mrvitalis:
Sure but how has that affected the price of fertilizers ?

What was the price in 2016 what are the price now ...you should not just do policy for doing sake

after ur useless 7 to 700 million. Food stuff is now even more expensive. Abeg let go back to 7 to even -7 atleast we were feeding and living well.

Yet the prices of food stuff is very high. Lies and brain washing has levels. This lie does not work.

Yes this government is the best thing that ever happened to Nigerians after sliced bread, we Don hear. No time to argue, you guys should just do and leave in a few months time. Thanks.

How does that help poor? Does it make fertilizer cheaper in the country? Or does it make foodstuffs cheaper? Does that make naira stronger against dollar? So all this that you said masses have not benefited, it's only the fertilizer producers benefits from it.

"Their snouts have been yanked from the honeypot"Is this clause a metaphor or dramatic irony Mr Adesina.You are stylishly calling somebody a "pig"

Price of fertilizer please

JAMO84:
What was the price before the Poverty Development Party?

be truthful to yourself are people happy during this evil regime?

For you to support evil regime your end will come swiftly. Good will always triumph over evil

Did this idiot femi ade or whatever he calls himself check the inflation rate relative to cost of food items buh writing these trash, what is commendable about fertilizers increase when the country can't boast of surplus farm produce, these people just play on our intelligence whenever & however they like.

DUMB! Because that's not the major problem we have. Fertilizer isn't what we need now. Stop making a fool out of this govt.

This man is an example of how positions and money make people tell lies without shame. He struggles everyday to defend what we clearly see as wrongs.

Ok now that you have gone from 7 to 70, why not drive your car personally to a farm in any part of the country freely to see how that fertilize is used?

Rollsnjaguar:
APC government are mad walai

Fertiliser that use to be N3500 is now N10,000 per bag and in some places higher.

Guy na lie ooh. Urea NPK that Femi is talking about I bought it N18000 in Zaria last week nnt N10k.

This guy is sleeping abi na drunk ne? With all this numbers how much is fertilizer today?

Somebody should force a bag of fertilizer down his throat.

I bought a bag of urea from ministry of agriculture Calabar at N3500 in 2017, and N4200 at Marian market , last 2 weeks I bought at same market N16500 ,last few days I went back and the price is N21000. So with the 70 the price of fertilizer keep surging up , so what's the benefit of 70?, At 7 the price was affordable .
