Shortchanged southeast will get less once anything is shared according to states in Nigeria.

Make una do the needful sooner then later; give a sixth state in the southeast, most naturally favoured location between Imo West and Anambra south senatorial district

Zico5:
The money that the governors will just pocket and everyone will move on. This is the way Tinubu want rule. I made a mistake for voting this calamity. I wonder what masses have gained since the beginning of this government. Even Buhari that we termed failure was not this bad. He kept on making lives miserable for the masses.

FuckTheMod:
Later when we start converting minimum wage or salary to US dollars, one lunatic sufferhead foòl will be asking if we spend dollars in Nigeria.

bigpicture001:
It is very irresponsible for a minister to quote a foreign currency in a financial report of pledge...

zero8zero:
You're worse than one lunatic suffer head fool you are referring to, because if you read the article, it is in partnership with the world bank and in what currency would the money be released?.

South east states don't have land to grow any crops so the F.G should not give them any.

This is a commendable move by the Mr president. Everyone must ensure that state governors are held accountable so that this initiative accomplish its purpose.

As citizens, we have failed in our responsibility to hold our Governors to account, how many pressure groups do we have in each state with the primary duty to watch dog Governors to a particular standard?. We too often shift attention on the center allowing the state embezzlers get away too many times. We want food security, perhaps, we are a few steps closer. Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project scale-up initiative (RAAMP) could drive it home.



This is reminiscent of what a former Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun came up with at the time when almost all the states were indebted and had to be given some tranches of bailouts. She got them committed, had them open an account and held them accountable. Unlike the ritual of monthly allocations whereby the Governors get away without accountability. This commitment would enable the FG extract transparency from the state Governors, trust me, we are talking $30 million, Governors will jump on it but this time, there is a watch dog sniffing at their heels.
Where there are so many internal roads that are bad, neglected and lying in poor conditions, where these roads leading to farms are inaccessible, Governors has to be committed in repairing the roads leading to farms in the hinterland before unlocking the $30million. That would ensure that our farms are open up to good roads and promote full value chain.

How much is the FG budgeting for Fulani herdsmen that will destroy the crops? If the FG could be killing IPOB members while doing nothing about herdsmen I think we need to examine the brains of the people in the presidency
