ABUJA — President Goodluck Jonathan, Tuesday, vowed to end importation of rice before the end of his tenure in 2015, saying the attainment of self-sufficiency in rice production by Nigeria was a top priority of his administration.

Speaking at a meeting with President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, IFAD, Dr. Kanayo Nwanze, Jonathan said domestic self-sufficiency in rice production was one of the major assignments he had given to the new Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina.

Jonathan said: “Before we leave office in 2015, we must stop the importation of rice. There is no reason why Nigeria should be importing rice. We have all that is needed to grow enough for domestic consumption and have a surplus we can export to other countries.”

LOL. . .this clueless and planless man continues to make empty noise. Same promise about uninterrupted power! Pray, HOW WILL YOU ACHIEVE this objective? Someone who has no track record of achievements promised to turn the sky into fertile ground, but HOW??

Gonna be hard. The clock is ticking. . . less than 4 years to go. Each day, month, year you make no progress, the more has to be done in the remaining time.

Words are nice, but the time for action is now.
