Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, says President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has achieved food security and the scaling up of made-in-Nigeria products.

The minister said this on Thursday in Abuja at the 9th edition of the ”PMB administration; scorecard series (2015-2023)”.

According to Mohammed, in spite of the crises affecting the cost of living globally, the administration had done well since assuming office in the area of self-sufficiency in most basic needs.

“I am sure many of us have seen video clips of empty supermarket shelves in the Western world, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war and the economic uncertainty, which have all combined to disrupt global supply chains,” he said.

“Long before these crises, however, President Muhammadu Buhari had, in a statement that has now turned out to be prescient, admonished Nigerians to grow what they eat and eat what they grow.

“Then, many neither understood the importance of that admonition nor appreciated its relevance.

“Well, it turned out that the consequence of that statement made Nigerians look inward and relied less on imports.

“This has saved Nigerians from hunger, especially during the prolonged global lockdown, when exporting nations shut their ports and borders and nations that relied on imports were struggling to meet their needs.”

Mohammed also said the worst could have happened if the country had, during the period of the crises, relied on imports to feed itself.

The minister added that the presidential fertiliser initiative was a successful policy that made the production and distribution of fertiliser to the farmers effective.

According to him, the number of fertiliser blending plants in the country increased from 10 in 2015 to 142 and the increase in the number of rice mills also from 10 in 2015 to 80 integrated rice mills.

This, he added to have aided food sufficiency.

“Our farmers are now part of our economy. Companies and factories are coming up to manufacture, process and distribute food,” he added.

“If you visit our markets and supermarkets today, what you will see mostly are ‘made-in-Nigeria’ products. This is a huge progress in such a short time.”

Speaking further on the high prices of food items, the minister assured that as the country engaged more in local food production and moved closer to achieving food security, prices would begin to fall.

“For now, we must acknowledge the success we have achieved in the area of food production and in scaling up made-in-Nigeria products’’ he said.

idiots and fools

....and the swine called Tinubu wants to continue from where the clueless Buhari stopped

With a bag of rice @ N 40,000 with minimum wage @ N 30,000?

I thought they said old people are known for saying the truth.
This one called Lai is the grandparent of lies.
Even when his grandson asked him why they called him a liar, he lied again.

One of yoruba Proverbs says "Eni to ba n puro majale"
meaning he who lies, will definitely steal.

No wonder Nigeria is broke and we keep on borrowing.

One thing is certain "Nigeria will be free". Very soon

He's back.

Until Nigerian leaders understand something very crucial as “our people need to be cared for” that’s the essence of your leadership. Not any approval from the west, if your people support you no body on the planet can win a war against you


Take us out of slavery! you people are taking us back into slavery. You don’t have to speak at Charterm house London for your voice to be heard as presidential candidate. What happened to Coco House in Ibadan.

Take us out of slavery! we’re tire of being slaves to those who are lesser to us.

Is he still alive?

So this man is still in this government?

Anytime I look at his mouth and Tinubu's mouth, the HCF is mouth odor.

I have never seen leaders who are desperate to lie to their subjects. Just to lie for no reason.

They will never listen until we start paying them back in the same coin but this time more physical.

Majority of their minion zombies are voting for them…
And they’ll turn to street and online beggars

We can understand where he's coming from ...

Liar. The no of fertiliser machines went up so did the price of fertiliser
The no of rice millers went up so did the price of rice.
In between which country is he referring that is witnessing empty shelves in supermarkets. I hope it's not Russia. Empty selves does not mean empty outside market.


When you are living fine, hve enough to eat and waste, it's easy to assume its so for everyone

Buhari is a failure, he failed himself, the country, africa and the black race

Don't be surprised to see buhari granting interviews complaining about insecurity and hunger when he is no longer president

Buhari that have used Fulani herdsmen to kill most of the farmers in Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria?

Fulani jihadists herdsmen have killed over 36,000 farmers since 2015 causing food crisis under Buhari’s regime

Hw does this man sleep @nite?

Where was this lying Bastard all along.

Indeed we can see thst below.

I am so sorry for calling Lai Mohammed an idiot.
After all, fools grow old.
Say NO to muslim-muslim devilish insensitive ticket

At this point it's clear that this people don't have respect for Nigerians

Lai Mohammed seems to have found his voice lately

If True... May you live long

If false... May Hunger kill your third generation

Another lie.

Lai Mohammed is an irrepentant world acclaimed liar that shouldn't be taken serious anymore

Bastard

God bless Nigeria

Thunder scatter Tinubu and his urchins!

I laughed so hard my ribs hurt. This must be the nairaland JOKES section. :
