All this external advisers should let Nigeria breath We urgently need food importation at the moment, the local ones are simply not enough See price of pepper and rice, why can't we import if we can? Then gradually on the side we continue to massively ramp up production That's how IMF and world bank are both shouting we should unified exchange rate and remove subsidy at the same very time, now we see where that has taken us Tinubu should open the border and let some food item comes in to lower food cost, then the governors should budget heavily for food production why FG also support massively 148 Likes 11 Shares |

Make we die of hunger then. The simple truth is Nigeria agricultural productivity and output can't sustain her population not to talk of the mayhem Fulani headsman were causing everywhere . Things are so expensive that a single guy can't feed himself talk less of family man. We need a way out. Not theory!! 32 Likes 1 Share |

In as much importing foodstuff might be bad for the country, the insecurity already made it hard for Nigerians to produce food that can sustain the population. A well control and coordinated foodstuff importation will reduce the risk, because it is necessary as the current prices refuse to crash down.

Buhari regime tried very well for the agric sector esp in the north but they pay back by exporting products to neighboring countries. I wanted to reply that our Agric sector is currently destroying us but on a second thought the herdsmen problem is a major factor threatening to put an end to this country yet there is no serious political will to stop them.

We can't allow the agricultural sector hold us to ransome. They should pack shop if they can't compete. They sell their produce in Niger republic because of quick money leaving the populace to suffer. Two can play the game. 21 Likes |

It has not been destroyed by herdmen and insane inflation already? Importation is a temporary solution though. No one expects it to be permanent solution. People are too hungry to wait for next farming season that some greedy farmers and middle will export to gain quick forex like they have been doing. 85 Likes 1 Share |

Grain Farmers were subsidized by the FG through intervention loans and they resorted to selling food to neighboring countries thereby skyrocketing costs locally. Import massively for 150 days and let massively planting follow. Let's see what will happen. 72 Likes 3 Shares |

I supported PMB when food importation was banned because I thought it’ll encourage our farmers but today these farmers are taking advantage of us after getting subsidized fertilizers and grant . it is now they remember that herders are disturbing them , and naira have crashed. We’re not patriotic in Nigeria. I respect Adeshina but I’ve lost all my support to Nigeria farmers. They complain that herders are disrupting them . It should be a thing of joy that they won’t need to stress again since importation will help bridge the gap. the reason farmers complain is because they’ll loose out, meaning they’ve. Been exploiting. 13 Likes 4 Shares |
