The Federal Government says it is considering holding a public debate in order to establish commodity pricing board by 2017.

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.

Ogbeh, who expressed regret that commodity pricing boards which were established few years ago were no longer functional, said the public debate would help to tackle gaps experienced by the past boards.

He explained that a minimum guaranteed price for crops was necessary to ensure balance for consumers.

“Commodity boards were set up before but somehow, they did not work.

“The debate now is that, do we go back to the commodity boards or not, but we will arrive at something soon.

“We may have to hold a public hearing on this matter. There are those who said that there were abuses.

“Some people were of the view that farmers were cheated, while others said the system worked well because they guaranteed quality control, educated farmers on what to do.

“The views are very strong on either side, we intend to hold a public debate quickly, analyse them what we have and see what is best.

“Give us a little time, maybe, early next year, we will find a solution to that. We have a duty to protect the Nigerian consumers,’’ he said.

If you can ask your father/mother about their 1983-1985 hunger experiences you won't dare come online to celebrate nonsensical nonsense. And, believe me when this jungle you are clamouring for or celebrating in advance matures, hunger will reset your brain without your consent.

Do us a favour & ask your parents how they queued up then to buy salt, sugar etc or how people lose their goods if you sell above the fixed price of Buhari/Idiagbon.

Why not shut up if you don't understand the topic, commodity pricing board is between the farmers and suppliers or merchants, it has nothing to do with anyone queuing up for nothing.
Poultry farmers have been clamouring for this for years and every sane country has it as a practice in its agricultural sector although it is not usually run by the government (atleast not everywhere)

RUBBISH farmers are not slaves..mehn dis buhari go destroy naija o

We are watching. But we should have it in mind that this no military rule. As for me is a welcome development

NICE ONE...

Meanwhile,


Those that is saying trash because people couldn't GH in MMM yesterday, how market? CBN, Senators and even banks wants to destroy MMM, but each time they try, MMM gets stronger.

We understand the risk, we have been warned to use only our spare money. so all the advisers, and GENERAL overseers, please leave us alone.
