Ance4Liverpool:I guess your suggestion should be a long term goal which can start concurrently with this one, what he wants to do is commendable in the short term considering the current situation of things As a matter of fact, ALL Governors in the Southern part of the country should go by your suggestion as well as what Governor Umo Eno wants to do now |

Olaide1295:You are correct that it is not sustainable. However, this is just an emergency option. What people need now is food to sustain them during this period of hardship. Nobody is ready to wait till the food grows before they eat. |

easyfem: He wants to establish a " state bulk purchase agency ", so the state can like apply economics of scale to purchase food products, and then can afford to sell at relatively lower prices to the masses. |

Great move Mr governor , My take is simply increase agro production, processing and supply before these, Let's imagine having 360 clusters in 4 senatorial district.Giving rural f@rmers Direct access to improved seedlings ,ImPRoved varieties, encouraging carbon trading, green precision farming by farmers .fertilisers, tractors and processing hubs, marketing will be made easy, price control boards created virtually and physically. We can be great again. Akwa Ibom must be great again! |

Another short term measure. What happens to securing thousands of hectares of land for farming of essential crops with highly mechanized system coupled with high yielding seeds? |

Browndiary: Good move, Mr governor. Just ensure that while you're on this, have it in mind to do/encourage mechanized farming. The abundance of food will drive down the price of food drastically. |

Always say what u kno, akwa Ibom state has good road so bad road ain't a disadvantage to this. The move is quite ok as some marketers always take opportunity in every little things, why should pure water be sold for 50box per sachet for instance |

I agree...if these Govs start clearing forest for planting....prices of food will begin to drop...what are they doing with all the money they collect...clear or buy lands directly from landowners...you make your people rich, then make those lands state lands...clear them and fence them...you will automatically have access to land for investors to come in and use...then lease the land for Agriculture...and the states will be making money annually. For example: Buy 1,000 hectares of land for N1m per hectare...that is N1billion Fence it around...spend another N2billion Allocate 1 hectare each for Agriculture for N100k bringing in N100m a year Regulate and tax the produce, flood the market.... Rinse and Repeat...Govt can also sponsor or look for sponsors to pay the first year lease for some farmers. Landowners will also make money and they can relocate or move to the cities. Make the Kings the custodians...they get 10% of annual lease money. Ance4Liverpool: |
