The Presidency has charged state governors and council
chairmen to wake up to their responsibilities as a panacea to food crisis and
hardship in Nigeria.
President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and
Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Nigeria would be better if governors and local
government chairmen boost food production in their domain.
Posting on X, Onanuga berated governors for blaming the
Federal Government for the food shortage in the country.
“Let the governors and council chairmen wake up to their
responsibilities. The Federal Government is not the only actor in town.
“You have your duties cut out for you. Imagine each state
making efforts to boost food production in its domain, build one world class
hospital, good roads, good schools etc. Imagine what our country would have
become.
“But while governors and the councils shirk their
responsibilities, they are quick to call out the Federal Government, which is
far away from the people those governors govern.
“Let all governors govern well, along with their councils,
food inflation, at least, will disappear. Our Federalism may not be perfect,
but we are not a unitary state, where everything must flow from the centre,” he
said.

I don't like many of tinibu policies, but on this one, I think the advisor is right. The are the true problem of this country through the criminal group called governors forum.
