Tinubu

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Ahmed Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerian farmers of his readiness to invest massively in the agricultural value chain if he is elected the president of the country next year.

According to Tinubu, investment in the nation’s agricultural sector must be prioritized as Nigeria holds the key to a global food crisis, stressing that the world relies on Nigeria for future global food security.

The former Senator who spoke when he received farmers from the six geo-political zones of the country at his campaign office in Abuja, said that there were already strategic plans in the road map of his incoming administration to fortify the nation’s agricultural sector through the adoption of intermediate partnership and enhanced agriculture practice that would guarantee increase yields and better job opportunities for the youths.

“The incoming Tinubu’s administration will invest massively in the entire agriculture value chain. The whole mantra is on increase in yield. 

“The whole mantra is on increase in yield and we cannot achieve that without embracing or adopting intermediate and enhanced agriculture practice.

The future of Africa, I mean that of the black race, rest on the people of this country. By 2050, Nigeria would be the third most populous nation on earth, with a population of over 400,000,000 people. We have the window of transforming the anticipated demographic trajectory into demographic dividends or it would be a demographic disaster that will consume all of us.

“We are going to work for you by God’s grace. The future belongs to you. Go to the interior of the slums and meet with the common man, anger is glaring in their faces.

“We need to work as a people, as a family for the good of our people. We have a problem of poverty and inequality in Nigeria and Nigerians has no reason to be poor because ours is one of the big oil and gas nation blessed with tremendous arable land with tremendous solid minerals buried under the soil.

“Not only tin and columbite in Plateau and in Nasarawa where you are tilling the soil, they have plenty of mineral resources too. Most importantly, we have the human resources, we have the market to sell our products.”
