President Muhammadu Buhari has urged farmers to return to
their farms in order to provide food for Nigerians, as there is no money for
importation.
Buhari, while speaking with State House reporters after Eid
prayers on Sunday, also prayed for a favourable raining season.
“I hope the raining season would be bountiful so that we get
a lot of food.
“I wish the farmers will go to farms and save our lives so
that we can produce what we need in sufficient quantity so that we don’t have
to import food.
“In any case, we don’t have any money to import food. So, we
must produce what we are going to eat,” he said.
The First Lady, Aisha Buhari, used the opportunity to
appreciate the efforts of the Ministry of Health and the Nigeria Centre for
Disease Control (NCDC), in containing the COVID-19 outbreak.
“I wish to thank the Federal Ministry of Health and also the
NCDC for their efforts in combating the pandemic,” she said.
