Agriculture: We would have been in trouble by now – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari said Nigeria would have been in trouble by now if his administration had not decided to go back to agriculture.
Speaking at a virtual meeting with members of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC) at the State House, in Abuja on Tuesday, President Buhari stressed the position of agriculture in the government’s scheme to reduce joblessness and poverty.
“For us to bounce back to productivity, especially in agriculture, the unemployed with many of them uneducated had to be persuaded to go into agriculture,” Buhari said.
‘‘If we hadn’t gone back to the lands we would have been in trouble by now. That is why we virtually stopped the importation of food thereby saving jobs and foreign exchange
“COVID has reduced us to the same level as developed countries.
‘‘We are lucky we went back to the land. We eat what we produce. We are doing our best to secure the country and provide infrastructure for investment to be viable in the country,” he said.
What is wrong mr president or If the only thing that makes you happy is hurting someone.. then you really need to change your mindset and make the people you are ruling happy another way by correcting yourself in defer ways in agricultural for our benefit include you.
Which agriculture is he going back to when it has beenleft behing since the 70s now they want to go back there again which his not possible
since ur administration started this agricultural stuff what have u produced am asking sir
What sort of trouble, when Nigerian bag of rice is been sold at #27,000 each per bag. Of what use is this ur agricultural value favored us. You only used it to favor your brother’s in the north and nothing else.
We are already in trouble.
I don’t understand this government o, are we not in trouble already? Hmmm
That’s very correct
The problem we are having with those in power is that they do not buy things outside because if they do, they will know that Nigeria is in mess with what it’s on ground now. So, partially are you telling us that we would have been buying rice at price of#50k or what, when are buying at the rate of #28k. In the agricultural aspect I don’t think you are working even not only agriculture but all aspects.
I think those that are informing the about the present situations in are feeding him with different lies, for him to be saying this something is wrong somewhere. We need a president that will be up and doing in every aspects of everything in Nigeria. The president is just sitting down and telling us what it’s not suppose to be so, those in power should feeding the president with reality not lies.
I agree that Nigeria has gone back to agriculture, but we are trouble already. I just pray God removes us from this trouble
what is the impact of the said agriculture, this administration has done nothing in agriculture Mr man.
That means we would have been in more murky water than the situation on ground now,so pathetic.
really we are in the problem already things are really getting bad day by day.
Which trouble is Mr President talking about. Is there any other form of trouble that will supersede the ones we are in now
I think the second name of Nigeria is suffering
Forget that Nigerians are suffering snd smiling set of people
I’m not sure if it’s true buhari is normal, or he sick upstairs, what did the agriculture yeld for Nigeria, we are complain on your economy and so on… You better find another solution to what is going on in the country.
