Due to incessant activities of the herdersmen limiting the activities of farmers,thereby limiting crop production.................Import food, open the boders(quotas) to allow food surplus ...those wicked sellers will be forced to reduce their price.......... Allow waivers,grants franchise to modular rifinaries.....or even subsidiaries in oil and gas .....more so try and fix one of the refineries........then sit down and watch....how transport fare will fall ....leading to fall in food prices .......and tht mumu dollar narratives ....wey no concern any thing even for fufu.........

Namaster: Stop confusing yourself. We need Importation through air o, land or sea. We are not producing enough. Buhari killed rice by deceiving Nigerians we can produce ours closing the borders. Economy strive on competition. There is hunger in the land, crime is increasing. Food Importation is very key at the moment. 2 Likes |

Osifo is a coward. He always backtracks everytime there is protest. If he cannot lead the TUC to join NLC in protest, he should shut the fucck up |

What a bad idea which will further destroy the falling Naira, Nigeria has enough food but the local farmers prefer to export their farm produce even though they got loans, and free fertilizers from the government. FG should ban food exportation till further notice and cut VAT rate on every food items, then make it compulsory for the ministry of agriculture in every state to farm at least 100 acres of land. Lastly state of emergency should be declared in the Nigeria commodity market and prices of food items should be regulated. Meanwhile, I still bought local rice from Tapa farmers at 60k per bag yesterday |

Namaster:It's a laudable point only that it will suffer proper implementation & supervision. Nigeria is currently not structured to work & can never work as long as everything is tied to the centre. Until there is a regional system using the current 6 geopolitical zones as the regions. And they are allowed to care for themselves & remit certain percentage to the federal to handle just few things that relate to foreign affairs, defense, etc. While the regional system takes care of the states under them. That will bring about healthy competition among regions. No room for laziness & tribal sentiment will reduce whenever the people need to protest against wrong policies. It will equally stop over concentration on the fg while the state govts steal unnoticed. |

We have scarcity of FX due to a number of reasons, and this clown wants us to import more food which will only make the FX situation even worse!! the govt needs to fight banditry in a no holds barred way, so the farms will be secure for people to take up farming in a big way. support should be given to farmers in terms of high yield seeds, fertilizers and also storage facilities to reduce waste. We will always need to import some food items, but Nigeria has the capacity to be self sufficient and even a net exporter of most of our food staples |

Nigerians always want the easy way out. There is food shortage, rather than suggest people should try to grow some of their foods while government should ramp up farming and improve security, they want government to give contracts to same politicians to go and import food. They also never offer suggestions on export the way they are quick to call for imports. |
