The President, Muhammadu Buhari, has said that his administration will not rest in reviewing and strengthening ongoing reforms in the agricultural sector, until Nigerian regains its pride of place as a food exporting country.
Receiving the All Progressives Congress (APC) family from Kebbi State at the Presidential Villa, the President said that the country’s huge rice import bill had dropped significantly by more than 90 per cent, adding that it wasn’t good enough by his expectation.
In a statement by the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu “Beyond self-sufficiency, we must strive to become net exporters of food commodities.
“We are not doing badly in the agricultural sector and Nigerians, and the world, are beginning to appreciate our efforts. We will not be satisfied; we will work harder until we start exporting food.
