President Muhammadu Buhari has said his government recorded huge success through the Anchors Borrowers’ Programme.
The President disclosed that over 12.2 million farmers have joined the rice and wheat revolution while the country is moving close to self-sufficiency in major grains.
Buhari, who was represented by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, at the 25th edition of the Nigeria Media Merit Award (NMMA) ceremony in Lagos on Wednesday, added that the success of the agriculture revolution has turned thousands of rice farmers into millionaires and drastically reduced rice import.
He noted that apart from the successes the administration has recorded in addressing insecurity and the fight against corruption “perhaps our most remarkable progress has been in the area of agriculture. Quietly but steadily, our agriculture revolution is bearing fruits.
