ARE WE SURE ? Buhari to stop all food importation soon – Minister

Okooo...we are waiting....The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu yesterday disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari will soon put a stop to importation of food items. Speaking during a familiarization visit to the Biotechnology and Resource Development Centre, BIODEC, Odi in Bayelsa State, the Minister explained that the President believes that Nigeria has the capacity to attain self-sufficiency in food production.


According to Onu, “One legacy President Muhammadu Buhari would want to be remembered for is to ensure that the Nigerian State produces enough food resources to feed herself without depending on other nations for food security.

“President Buhari strongly believes that if a country like China with a population of over 1.4 billion people can provide food security for her citizens through mechanized farming, Nigeria with less than 200 million people could do same.”
