Do they want to distribute the grain reserves as palliatives or will it be distributed to the private sector for sale? I dont understand why u have to involve states rather than releasing these grains to the market for sale

Our federating states are the most useless when it comes to agriculture;
Why Land ownership is vested on the states i.e, the state owns the land.
The only land the FG has powers on is the FCT land.
So, for most of the states not to have a grain reserve means that they've been sleeping all this while while budgeting billions for agriculture.
As usual, blame TINUBU for individual states' irresponsibility.

That is what we always hear. Corrupt politicians. State governors do nothing in this country. Their new obsession is state police to use, oppress and cause chaos.

Na you be idiot, useless tribal bigot. Food reserves are owned by the Federal government via the Fed. Ministry of Agric and not the states,it's in the exclusive list (that's if you even know what that is)
Hardship go reset your brain no worry, it's just 8 months into 4 years of the great tinubulation.

The easiest job in Nigeria is being a Governor. You practically wait for the Federal Government for everything.

Why are the states not having strategic food reserves? What have the states done with the increased Federal allocations since the removal of the fuel subsidy?
What have they done to tackle insecurities in their different states?
Nothing....
Everybody waits for majic from Abuja..

Yeye idioots.

a grain reserve actually exists but has been poorly managed.

Most of the food grown in the north use subsidized FG inputs. It would have made sense for FG to buy the harvest around august-october last year and fill the reserves instead of watching stronger currencies around us raid our markets to buy foods the farmers like to claim barely exist. They do that to avoid debt repayment sometime. Now reserves are empty. Instead govt is doing empty media propaganda.
You don't use picture of food to threaten hunger. Hunger is not like that.

Grain reserve is real and Buhari used it during his time. I don't know why our owambe presidio and crew didn't fill it knowing fully well that weaker currency will lead to export. They appear not to know the country they are governing. They just know they can make money from governing it and so employ a reactionary approach to issues that demand foresight and planning. The reserve isn't a myth.
@bolded
Succinctly put.


CNG fueled trucks and big buses should have also been deployed within the first 6 months of the Tinubu Presidency to lower the costs of foodstuffs and human transportation to even below the pre-subsidy removal era, but the FG and state governments all miscalculated by pussyfooting and depending much on Dangote Refinery's emergence. CNG costs N200/kg so, it's way cheaper per kg than even LPG which is used for cooking and PMS.

Second, Illegal checkpoints by uniformed security men and state levy collectors also account for spikes in high transportation costs from the North to South and vice versa. Special whistleblower toll-free numbers in each state would make it easy for truck drivers and truck owners to report these illegal checkpoints and apply the needed punishments for all offenders.

The hues and cries about greedy food speculators and people not being able to afford to buy enough foodstuffs (and even specialized pharmaceutical drugs) because of hyperinflation would have been non-existent as of late 2023 leading right up to 2024.

See nonsense questions grin

Why worrying us here, go to Zamfara your styatye and ask your governor this question, then one back and let us know why he's so ineffective.

What you don't know about him (Ubani by name) is that he is from Southeast and Igbo. And unfortunately, he hates Igbos with his last blood. His other monikers include Udele, Ngeneukwenu etc.
Re: Expectations Amid Hardship: No Grains Yet, Our Warehouses Empty, States Lament by Originalsly: 12:34pm On Feb 19
N186B to import grain .... why not to farmers to boost local food production? Buying grain is a one time shot ... one feeding. Given to the farmers it will be continuous. Just my thoughts.

One thing I love about tinubu is that he deals with everybody most expecially his own that campaigned and voted for him.
I heard 20 stroke of cane is equivalent to 100 naira bread in lagos right now. Maybe before next week it will enter 50 stroke with the way naira is losing its value

Hahaha grin grin cool
