No to Fertilizer subsidy removal...

Firefire:
If truly this government is sincere about diversification of our economy, it does not take forever, nor does it require waiting endlessly for the budget allocation.

- A simple "WILL" & "ACTION" announcing incentives to farmers, with promise of buying their excess.

- Utilize and redistribute the existing mechanized farming instrument across the country. (E.g, Tractors, etc)

- As done my the former Minister of Agriculture Mr. Adeshina, continue to provide hybrid seedlings to farmers at subsidized rates.

- Where possible provide enabling farming environment through the provision of farmlands across the 6 Geopolitical zones in the country or partnering with states and willing industries to support the diversification project.

- Make readily available Organic Manure and Fertilizers to Farmers across the country.

I simply believe that, making a simple policy statement with a focused direction toward agriculture in the short-run don't require huge capital allocation. Just a statement and 'body language' will suffice.

God bless Nigeria.
