If you are hungry, go to the farm — Buhari tells Nigerians

President Buhari says Nigerians have no reason to complain of hunger as there are farm lands in the country & God has blessed us with rain

He reportedly said this on Wednesday during an interview with Tambarin Hausa TV, Speaking in the interview, Buhari said that one of the policies he undertook upon assuming office in 2015 was to block the Nigerian borders from food importation & force people back to farm

“I took that decision to stop rice importation & said we should farm what we eat or d#e of hunger. I said that since we have farm land & God has blessed us with rain, what reason does a Nigerian have to say he’s hungry?

If you are hungry, go to the farm. I’m aware that floods have ravaged some farmlands this season but we are still selling rice made in Nigeria & we can feed ourselves

Is that not an achievement? We have workers who left their air-conditioned offices and went into farming & they had bounty harvests. So, we are grateful,” he said.
