Did you read the write up, it’s very short and concise

Even if it's 1 line, they still won't read 😂

@topic, seems some of the governors are waking up now, good.

Generation1:

Build farm now Abi what are you trying to say…. People are hungry and you are talking about farming now. They best way to go now is to import food to crash the price of food first.

The idea of importing food right now is not feasible as the food is more expensive abroad considering the current foreign exchange rate

Ance4Liverpool:
Very stupid idea, why not emulate obasanjo and build his type of farm in your state that will employ over 20k youths and equaly produce enough food for ur citizens instead of embarking on a foolish policy that will favor few of ur party members.

this can come later. If food grown with oil money can be Bought by foreigners, I support this move.

yarimo:
This is very commendable from akwa ibom state governor, while his colleague in ABIA STATE always busy perfecting dubious ways to defraud the state.

Abia no be ur mate.

Face ur useless Ododo in Kogi state.

Governors wey never see food to chop, e b lyk dis hunger de touch everybody?

Caramia2020:
Will he also regulate the prices of the supplier of goods from other states ? Because most goods comes from other states, If they buy for 5k n the suppliers are sending the goods over for 7k, what is the essence of trading? All parties involved should be checkmate but it's difficult.

Indirectly, the state is subsidising. Na just change of nomenclature.

Children of nowadays, if only you know how Obasanjo farms came to be. Have you ever heard of Operation feed the nation project of the 70s? That's what is know as Obasanjo farms today. How many of the farms are working except the one in OTA where he resides. Applaud people when they try to help out in alleviating poverty.

Brilliant move. That is what state government should be doing, this will go a long way to alleviate people's suffering.

Food subsidy.
The set up will be a good avenue for looting of the treasury.

A state governor will bring up a dumb idea, the indigens and party supporters will applaud it as the best thing but curse and abuse another dumb idea a governor from another state, region or party.

Akwa Ibom state is the centre for world's keke and mini bus drivers. No jobs even with the audio factories I've been reading online.

I expected the governor to create jobs by opening factories, empower artisans, attract investors so there can be job opportunities.

This "Happy Hour" governor wants to keep giving the people fish as against teaching/showing them how to fish.


NIGERIANS ARE NOT LAZY. THE LEADERS ARE.

It’s not stupid in totality. But our leaders have no foresight. If they do, doing what you suggested should be a long term cushion for the country. Obj later converted the farm to his anyway.

But on a good stand, it should be replicated in form of Babangida’s style. Make farm settlements-babangida called it agric settlements, all over Nigeria. Every local government should have it. Create moderate facilities for them, build shelters, give them light, provide moderate facilities like sport centers , train and equip them on security measures, provide machineries as ag when needed and provide farm inputs. Make available trainers and supervisors and watch our country become farm produce importer in 2 to 5 years. .

But as usual, no govt will do it. They are busy looting over 2 kms road constructions and building of ring roads.

Waiting for d action

Back to the days of essential commodities 1984

If u don't understand things ask questions. How is it a stupid idea, the way some of u talk makes one wonder if u even think at all.


That is one of the best way govt can support both farmers and the citizen. One of the problem of farmers is a ready market, most Agric produce get spoil easily n no storage system in place or too expensive to do. Reason the middlemen used to milk them, an average Famer want a place he can sell all his produce not take loans n suffer to plant n still suffer to sell it. If a farmer have a guarantee buyer he can go any length to acquire loan n boost his production.

On the other hand the govt have the capacity to buy and store. If they buy all, they can decide to either subsidize for the indigene or ensure a regulated price as storage won't be a problem. So there would be food in all time of the year.

Press Release

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, true to his people -centric ways and commitment to seeing to the amelioration of the plight of the people has stated that the Bill for the establishment of the State Bulk Purchasing Agency, which is currently in the House of Assembly, is meant to ensure that the price of staple food items are within the reach of the people.

“We will buy the food items in bulk and ensure that they are made available to our people at relatively lower prices. The process will be transparent.

“I want to thank the House of Assembly for the expeditious manner this Bill is being treated. I want to assure our people that we feel their pain and are working hard to ensure that food security for our people is guaranteed.

“ That’s why they voted for me overwhelmingly and as you know, I came from this stock and I feel their pain completely.

“ I appeal to our people to exercise patience while the House of Assembly is working to pass the Bill, which would be immediately signed into law by me” the Governor had stated while fielding questions from Government House Correspondents.

The people should wait for a law to be passed before getting respite.

He should first let the people know how much he has received as palliative on behalf of the people of the state since he entered.

easyfem:

Aw can u decided to go to market and tell them the price they shud sell when u are not making the food process available for the marketers , no good road to take the food from rural area to urban area , no electricity for farmer , no security for farmer and many more , and u just wake up to fix a price of commodities, this pple no get sense ?

Maybe the guy might just break Yahaya record as the worst governor on earth. I haven't seen the man waka go anywhere of heard him speak since inauguration. Perhaps he is still in Okene or Abuja cooling off from election stress or ruling through Whatsapp group

food subsidy. Good but politicians and corrupt people will hijack it.

He has his own farming policy. If you want to farm in Akwa ibom now, free machines. Just fuel it. Subsized farm lease.

How many is Obasanjo farm feeding Ogun state.

Ogun has more farms than Obasanjo but the state still lack cheap food.

Did you read the write up, it’s very short and conciseDid you read the write up, it’s very short and concise...

Nice one. But Nigerians are not experiencing food shortage baba, na money shortage be the problem since the value of the cash at hand has been drastically reduced by the head buffoon in charge!

He’s building that type of farm already in the state. It’s a multi pronged approach

Abians don't need free food. We need infrastructure and our governor is more on it.

Go and do your hunger protest and keep your bitterness and hatred to yourself

axglide:
Akwa Ibom Governors are built differently.

Good move 👍

we know who akpabio is

People are quick to critize Akwa-Ibom State. Watch how other state will adapt this same moves. Critical times demands critical and creative moves.
