Buhari’s food alarm vanguardnews
“I wish the farmers could go and stay in their farms so that we can produce what we need sufficiently so that we don’t have to import. In any case, we don’t have money to import so we must produce what we have to eat”.
We call on all farmers’ interest groups to key into the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, protocols and mobilise their members effectively to plant their farms while maintaining the appropriate safety measures. We fully support President Buhari’s inward-looking approach to the task of feeding our over 200 million population.
The need to look inward is even more imperative now than ever before. COVID-19 has zapped our finances, so the money is not even there. Even if we had enough in our reserves, we should not waste it on food imports. We can feed ourselves, and we must! It is now or never.Beyond the oral call to action, we must see our farmers and the value chain businesses attached to them as prime targets of our priority stimulus packages.
