PRESIDENT TINUBU URGES GOVERNORS TO MEET TARGETS ON FOOD SECURITY; APPROVES IMMEDIATE ROLLOUT OF NATIONAL CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSEHOLD SUPPORT PROGRAMME

To boost agricultural productivity, strengthen the economy by creating opportunities in the real sectors of agriculture, manufacturing, and construction, as well as provide urgent economic relief for Nigerians, President Bola Tinubu has approved the immediate rollout of the National Construction and Household Support Programme to cover all geo-political zones in the country.

Under the programme, the Sokoto-Badagry Highway, which will traverse Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos, is prioritized.

Other road infrastructure projects, such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which is underway, and the Trans-Saharan Highway, which links Enugu, Abakaliki, Ogoja, Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa, and Abuja, are also prioritized.

The President has also approved full counterpart financing for Port Harcourt-Maiduguri Railway; to traverse Rivers, Abia, Enugu, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe and Borno, as well as for the Ibadan-Abuja segment of the Lagos-Kano Standard-Gauge Railway; which will traverse Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, Niger, Abuja, Kaduna, and Kano.

The Sokoto-Badagry road project is specially prioritized for its importance as some of the states it will traverse are strategic to the agricultural sustainability of the nation.

Within the Sokoto-Badagry Highway corridor, there are 216 agricultural communities, 58 large and medium dams spread across six states, seven Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZs), 156 local government areas, 39 commercial cities and towns, and over 1 million hectares of arable land.

In addition, other items under the National Construction and Household Support Programme include:

(1) One-off allocation to states and the Federal Capital Territory of N10 billion for the procurement of buses and CNG uplift programme.

(2) Delivery of N50,000 uplift grant each to 100,000 families per state for three (3) months.

(3) Provision for labour unions and civil society organizations.

(4) Deployment of N155 billion for the purchase and sale of assorted foodstuff to be distributed across the nation.

Somebody has profoundly lost touch with realities!
Building skyscrapers on quagmire - All these capital intensive project where security of lives and properties are not guaranteed is like fixing Taps and Sinks in desert without water source.

Has Tinubu secured the farmlands for farmers in places affected?

Why put the cart before the horse?

Its becoming clearer that Tinubu does not understand the challenges bedevilling this country let alone provide solutions.

The greatest threat to food security in this country today is INSECURITY. I visited my farm in Ejieme Agbor last weekend, about 3500 hectres of land but couldnt even stay up to an hour because of fear. Everybody in Agbor is living in fear because of kidnappers.

Recently some communities in Benue where asked to pay #20M by bandits before they can access their farm and harvest, I did not see the Nigerian Army write " The Audacity".

Farmers have been chased away from their farms, some pay through their nose to plant and also pay when its time to harvest. These are the issues I expected Tinubu to deal with head on, but unfortunately the widely acclaimed " City Boy" seems confused.

If he thinks all these things he mentioned above will solve the food insecurity then he is sorely mistaken.

see this mumu bedwetter, food security when you charged too much on imported foods. Nigerians are not aware that the landing cost of foreign rice is more cheaper than silly Nigeria stone rice.

This food inflation is somethingesle now. In this hard season Nigerians are really trying and understanding citizens but if not our irresponsible government, our Nations would have been the pride of the Continent.

Tinubu is most irresponsible and non compassionate president in the history of Nigeria

Are states under the FG that the president can order them around?

Has the FG met it's own food security target that it wants order anybody around?

Lol. Those motherfvckers don't give fvck about agriculture or food self sufficiency, most especially the fvckers we have down south.
When was the last time any governor from the South bought tractors that farmers can rent at a subsidised rate or bought fertilisers and redistributed to farmers at subsidised rate? I'm very sure that their budgets for agriculture is not even up to 1% of their annual budget.

Urging Governors to do what, where there are serious security issues facing the farmers?

Our leaders know that our youths are sleeping, that is why they keep throwing all kinds of things at us.

APC greatest political tool is imposing severe hunger on the masses, then use 2 thousand naira with 3 cups of rice to get them during election time.

Dreamer .

You know what to do . But these educated illiterates ,filled with pride , think they can use big grammar to move a hill...


Oga , buy bulldozers , buy tractors , create forest guards , ..

Open up the bushes and forest .
Start full blown MECHANIZED farming .

Conquer hunger through federal farming .
Sell the produce to approved wholesalers and peg a retail price on it like you did petrol ..
