Agricultural sector under
Jonathan is riddled with
massive corruption – APC

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign
Organisation, APCPCO, has accused the President
Goodluck Jonathan administration of massive
corruption in the country’s agricultural sector.
“President Jonathan has failed woefully in the
agricultural sector, and all the self-praise of the
administration on agriculture is simply a ruse,” the
APCPCO said in a statement released on Sunday,
February 1.
The statement, signed by Garba Shehu, pointed out
that whereas President Jonathan had promised in
2010 to make Nigeria self-sufficient in rice and wheat
production by 2015, “the grim reality on the ground
today is that Nigeria emerged as the world’s highest
importer of rice in 2015, and a whopping $11 billion is
spent annually by Nigeria to import rice, wheat, sugar
and fish.”
The statement added that according to the former
Acting Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sarah
Alade, Nigeria as at 2014 spends $4 billion on rice
importation – that is about N600 billion annually on
the importation of 2.1 million metric tonnes of milled
rice.
“This is after the Federal Government had approached
the China Exim Bank for a loan of $1.2 billion for the
financing of 100 large-scale rice processing plants
with a total capacity of 2.1 million metric tonnes.
“The troubling truth today, is that Nigeria is nothing
close to self-sufficiency in rice production and what
we have at hand is a close web of corruption where
government cronies stumble over each other to get
import licenses for rice.”
The statement also noted that a similar unacceptable
situation pertained to the importation of wheat.
“According to the Minister of Agriculture and Rural
Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, Nigeria’s
wheat consumption as at year 2000 was about two
million metric tonnes. But, by 2010, wheat importation
to the country had risen to four million metric tonnes
and Nigeria spends N635 billion annually on wheat
importation.
“Five years into the Jonathan’s administration,
Nigeria spends even more than we did in 2010 to
import wheat; yet the government continues to
brandish false achievements in the agricultural sector
– a situation that is completely at variance with what
President Jonathan promised Nigerians in 2010,
saying that his government would make Nigeria save
N635 billion annually on rice and wheat importation.”
On fertilizer accessibility to farmers, the APCPCO
faulted the claim by government that local farmers
now have unhindered access to fertilizer through the
Growth Enhancement Scheme.
On the contrary, Mr. Shehu says that what gets to
each farmer under the e-wallet arrangement, which he
described as, “excessively laborious and technically
difficult for the farmers to work through” are two
bags of fertilizer throughout the entire farming
season, “and government has not come out in one
instance to tell Nigerians how much it receives as
grants on fertilizer distribution to farmers from donor
agencies.”
“The government will want to give us the impression
that fertilizer is being given to farmers free of charge.
But we know that what subsists is a 50 per cent
subsidy per bag of fertilizer. Our farmers are being
shortchanged under this so-called e-wallet
arrangement because of lack of transparency.
“We may be looking at another subsidy scam over
fertilizer unless the Jonathan administration comes
out clean to tell us how much it has received as
grants over fertilizer and how it comes about the 50
per cent subsidy per bag of fertilizer,” Shehu said.
The statement dismissed President Jonathan’s claims
of achievement in the agricultural sector, pointing out
that “throughout the periods preceding the
Jonathan’s administration, the contribution of
agriculture to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was
at 7 per cent, while under the so-called transformation
agenda of President Jonathan, agriculture’s
contribution to the GDP has been consistent at 5 per
cent – an all-time low.
“In any case, food commodities are items Nigerians
buy on a daily basis. If the Jonathan administration
was sincere with the statistics it reels out on
agriculture, why would the government buy pages of
newspaper advertorials and TV commercials to force
bitter falsehood of its achievements down the throats
of Nigerians? The Jonathan administration has failed
woefully in its agricultural policies and the facts are
self-evident out there at those food stalls in our
markets.
“In 2015, Nigerians know they spend far more to buy
food than they did in 2010. That reality, in itself, is
President Jonathan’s scorecard in agriculture,” the
APCPCO concluded.
