₦airaland Forum

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to transforming Nigeria into a global agricultural export powerhouse by 2025. Speaking on Tuesday at The Road to South-South National Convergence for Renewed Hope Agenda event, held at the Conference Centre of the State House, Abuja, Tinubu emphasized the potential of agriculture to reshape Nigeria’s economy.

Represented by the Minister of Regional Development, Abubakar Momoh, the President outlined his vision for food security and economic growth through the “Project Earn from the Soil” initiative. He described the program as a catalyst to transition subsistence farming into a thriving export-driven sector.

“In this wise, the vision of my administration is clear: By 2025, we will position Nigeria as a leading agricultural export nation,” Tinubu said. “To this end, my administration will give necessary support to the implementation of the laudable Project Earn from the Soil to achieve its set objectives.”

The President also highlighted the untapped potential of the South-South region, emphasizing its wealth of resources beyond oil and gas. “This region is very blessed in natural resources beyond oil and gas. Apart from its rich culture, the South-South is blessed with extraordinary human capacity and talents in many fields of human endeavors that have done our country proud globally,” Tinubu stated.

The event, organized by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-South), also served as the launchpad for the National Convergence for the Renewed Hope Agenda, a strategic blueprint designed to spur economic development with the South-South region leading the charge.

Minister Momoh praised the initiative, describing it as “a significant milestone in our nation’s journey of economic transformation.” He added that the program aligns with the administration’s broader goal of empowering communities to ensure national progress.

The Impact Report, unveiled during the event, highlighted key milestones achieved under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. The report showcased targeted initiatives that have empowered youth, women, and local communities in the South-South region.

Dr. Josephine Johnbull, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-South), lauded the role of grassroots communities in driving development. “To the youth and women, your voice, innovation, and determination are crucial to shaping the future of the South-South and Nigeria at large,” she said. “As we amplify the Renewed Hope Agenda, let us ensure every Nigerian feels the impact of our collective efforts.”

The event concluded with renewed calls for collaborative efforts to harness the South-South’s resources, positioning it as a driver of Nigeria’s economic renaissance.

There's already this statistics for every country, that doesn't mean they can't export.

Hahahaha! What's the percentage of agric ministry budget in this year budget and the one he's preparing for 2025? They normally budget like 1% of the total annual national budget on agriculture

Get life

We will also use it as a yardstick for the next presidential election. I trust my Northern people

To Tinubu, everything is politics, he is still campaigning even after he has been in office for almost 2 years...

Lies every where. Even the locals are yet to be freed of hunger.
APC and propaganda are best of friends

Exporting what exactly
1. We don't practice mechanical farming
2. Corruption in distribution of materials
3. Insecurity

APC belief them at your own peril

This is the problem of country. Tinubu ministers aren't telling him the true state of things.

If this happens I will reconsider my support for Obi

Naso promises upon promises . Show workings

Same old strategy
Tell the people pleasant thing but drop no blueprint on how to achieve it.

Audio promise sighted.

Everything is in future terms while presently Nigerians are dying of hunger. And majority of the ones dying are 'teachers'🤣. They promised to teach a certain group of people lesson through voting in this useless government and it backfired. Now they are dying in their hundreds of thousands.🤣

Why do you think that tinubu is better than his ministers in terms of honesty?

Why blaming the ministers for tinubus perceived ignorance?

Is he a baby that he can't discern between right and wrong, truth and lies?

Atuero:

Since they have done it without his consent, what has he done to ensure they don't do it again?

Are you saying that tinubu is an honest person?

We are still battling with hunger and the high prices of food...baba dey talk of exporting. A restaurant owner that allows her own children to go to bed hungry.

Every country has this statistics, you can't decide not to export because there are people who haven't eaten.
