Engage in farming to reduce food costs, Presidency tells Nigerians

The Presidency has urged urged Nigerians to consider subsistence farming as a way to offset the increasing cost of food and become more self-sufficient.
At a meeting with ACOE in Abuja, Presidential Adviser Bayo Onanuga stressed the need for agricultural self-sufficiency, encouraging Nigerians to grow their own food and reduce dependence on imports.
He referenced historical initiatives like ‘Operation Feed the Nation’ introduced by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1976 and measures taken during the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari in 1984 to mitigate shortages of essential commodities.
Acknowledging current economic hardships, Onanuga affirmed the government’s commitment to enhancing agricultural investments for affordability and availability of food items. He noted, “Despite global economic challenges affecting cost of living, our efforts in agriculture aim to alleviate the hardships faced by Nigerians.”
On partnership with the media, Onanuga assured ACOE of a collaborative approach to uphold transparency and disseminate accurate information. In response, ACOE Chairman Mr. Martins Odiete underscored the significance of their alliance in ensuring reliable news delivery to the public.
As Nigerians look forward to the impact of government efforts, Onanuga predicted that noticeable improvements would emerge within the coming year, bringing renewed hope and progress.
The meeting concluded with a renewed emphasis on building strong communication bridges between the Presidency and the media, essential for promoting accurate and timely information exchange and supporting informed public debate.
