At least, we saw the tractors which will definitely be put in use sooner or later, meanwhile, we are still looking for the N5 billion clean cookstoves Goodluck procured for rural women in 2014! |

LagosOrigin:PrinceOfLagos, you have started this morning. Why giving it free? How do we now pay back the loan to Belarus? Do you think it's free? The arrangement is for farmers, through their Govs, to pay 50% while Fed Govt subsidize the 50% in the interest of the populace. |

Racoon:The useless government can't get anything especially the ones the people can benefit from,but if it is what he will benefit from it will be done with speed of light ,even bypassing established procedures to get it done like purchase of aircraft, yacht, coastal highway of fraud etc Till now he is yet to complete the payment of 35k wage awards to civil servants he did not even bother to pay the 25k to pensioners,this is before the introduction of minimum wage even the minimum wage, there are so much backlog of arrears he is yet to pay and you will wonder what he has been doing with all the revenue he claimed he is earning He is just a mean man Buhari was miles better than him, he never deprived or delayed any citizens entitlements and did not put his personal comfort far above that of others like this greedy man |

DiamondsAreFore:Because it was more about making money from the supply contract for a few, than actually boosting.the agricultural.economy for all |
| Re: 4 Months After Tinubu Launched N50 BN Tractor Initiative, Tractors Remain Unused by TheGift: 9:38am On Oct 21, 2025 |
Tareq1105:So how do they pay back the loan when the trucks are lying fallow? Isn't it better to give it out free (and possibly earn from the produce) than stay stuck in limbo? Do you know how much it is going to cost to service or repair those trucks that have been lying fallow? |

Just to grab, snatch and want to capture states they know and deceive opposition party members to defect to their party they know how to do best..nothing else |

ubimagos:You people.are always reaching into the distant past to distract from.the current issue at hand. Why? How does this help? How does it change the fact that a loan was taken to buy trucks that are not being used , and will cost.more.money to service or repair due to lack of use for so long. Meanwhile we still need to.pay back the loan with interest. Only.a foolish or corrupt business man will not start putting their loan to work as soon as they receive it, because the money has a time.frame.. Stop.with this lame.argument of "our bad is not as bad as that other person's bad." What's bad is bad. |

LagosOrigin:So after launching, Tinubu is expected to go and hand over to farmers all by himself, okay welldone |
| Re: 4 Months After Tinubu Launched N50 BN Tractor Initiative, Tractors Remain Unused by TheGift: 9:47am On Oct 21, 2025 |
yorosstores:Stop being a joker. Did anyone say Tinubu should hand over Himself? Tinubu that may be chilling.in France- His new home? There should be someone responsible for doing that. And that person ultimately.reports to Tinubu. Thus Tinubu is ultimately responsible. |

DiamondsAreFore:Tinubu has been and will continue to be a failure in governance even though he may be a brilliant politician who knows how to steal money to buy votes. Stealing money from the tax burden on people, instead of employing them to make services and utilities available for everyone to flourish. NaijaRoyalty: |

yorosstores:When Tinubu bragged about reaching his target of higher revenue in August from increased tax burden on Nigerians, did he go to each and every taxpayer to collect taxes ![]() What did Bwala say about the impact on the brain of joining Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC? |

The principle is irrevocable. Government should not be involved in such commercial matters and productive activities. Leave it to the free market. Is this the first? What about Anchor Borrower's Scheme? It's public knowledge reported by the Government itself that most beneficiary farmers have refused to pay their loans. Officials in the Ministry of Agriculture are taking bribes right now from those who will eventually get these tractors. Some, maybe MOST of these vehicles will be resold to serious farmers in Nigeria and South Africa and all over the world. Nigerians have to learn to eschew socialism. It simply doesn't work. Especially in diverse nations. Try free markets...grant and protect PROPERTY rights, deregulate prices and market access. Nigeria already has a 25 year record of success. Good Luck to Nigerians. |

DiamondsAreFore:Trust me, it will be given to loyal party member few months before election. Or sold out by the Directors in the ministries to highest bidders. Na mumu dey believe APC government. Since APC assume power in 2015, they took Nigeria backward to the extent that Nigeria keep entering recession repeatedly. Tueh!🥳 |

Racoon:Ahracoonlahi!! Tinubu is trying his best but is surrounded by saboteurs like you and thieves who are calculating that baba will look away so that they can steal those tractors for themselves. Tinubu should do a cabinet shake up and fire 75% of his ministers. He's surrounded by people hellbent on not making him succeed. People like Ahracoonlahi who just hate him because their preferred candidate lost. An evil set of people that would sacrifice the country on their altar of ego and Pride. |

simpleseyi: ![]() So he is not aware? I hope say you gave this same excuse to defend GEJ. Na where una dey I see where a company is not doing well and the shareholders question to MD. Instead of him to take responsibility, he tells the shareholder that they should blame his employees and not him oooooo |
| Re: 4 Months After Tinubu Launched N50 BN Tractor Initiative, Tractors Remain Unused by Elusive001: 12:07pm On Oct 21, 2025 |
Spandau:Okay. So did you make this same excuse for GEJ? So why does he know only incompetent peeps? So he has no competent peeps to work with? Like begets like bros. Birds of the same feather, flock together bros. Na where una dey I see where a company is not doing well and the shareholders question to MD. Instead of him to take responsibility, he tells the shareholder that they should blame his employees and not him oooooo |

| Re: 4 Months After Tinubu Launched N50 BN Tractor Initiative, Tractors Remain Unused by Zocalite: 12:13pm On Oct 21, 2025 |
The tractors are for 2027 election They are for the local, agbero, loquacious, old supporters Those old men in your area, that know history of your area, they add salt to tinubu lies and innuendo, and broadcast around to the gullibles You have known dem, they call themselves farmers Na those ones will now use it for tractor rent |

maasoap:It is his issue bros. Did he follow the democratic process to suspend the Rivers governor? Does he not get most people to do his bidding? So why is this one different. Is food issues not important to him? Does he not have the power to bypass the bureaucracy? If he does, who will challenge? Which court will question him? Bureaucracy held peace meetings with terrorists. Bureaucracy increased tarrifs? Bureaucracy increased the salaries of judges by 300%? Bureaucracy made a man with questionable certificate a minister despite the outrage by the man's people? Bureaucracy stops fight against terrorists? Bureaucracy granted pardon to drugs barons, murderers, etc? Bureaucracy has kept NMK in detention? Bureaucracy suspend an elected governor for 6 months for not dancing to hid political benefactor? Una no get conscience at all |

And Mr President cannot question the present minister of Agric about this development. And if he cannot provide answers sack him immediately and replace him with someone that has action. This is quite unfortunate. We still have a lot of things pending and hanging at the federal level from different ministries. What supposed to come to people at the grassroot level is not reaching them because of these corrupt ministers we assume to have in Nigeria. Only few of the ministers are active. |

Very typical. That's how we waste money in this country. |

This kind of initiatives should be states government initiatives so we cannot produce tractors in Nigeria? |

DiamondsAreFore:It’s really frustrating to see such a huge investment in agriculture lying idle while farmers struggle on the field. N50 billion worth of tractors and equipment could have transformed productivity, reduced the high cost of labour, and encouraged youth participation in farming, yet bureaucracy is holding everything back. Mechanisation isn’t just about delivering machines, it’s about timely deployment, maintenance, and proper training for farmers. Delays like this risk missing the planting season entirely, which defeats the purpose of the initiative. If Nigeria wants to truly boost agriculture and food security, there needs to be clear directives, faster implementation, and a sustainable plan for service centres and maintenance. Otherwise, these tractors will just gather dust, and the promise of agricultural independence will remain just that,a promise. |

simpleseyi:The mistake was in buying the tractors. Governments should not be involved in tractor purchases. Farmers should form cooperative groups (See Land O'Lakes and Fonterra) amongst themselves, run it like a company and buy whatever they want to buy. Alternatively, partner with a major offtaker, either a major exporter or food companies. The food company then provides tractors at subsidised rates to the farmers in return for the continuous supply of agri-raw materials. Governments, especially in ethnically diverse countries, should not participate in businesses. Their operations should be very limited. |

LagosOrigin:For free? Or rent it for a small fee so others can also rent it when you don't need it. And the small fees can be used in maintaining the equipment. For free! Some of you are just wonderful. I bet if you get it for free you will sell it and marry another wife. |
