President Bola Tinubu says there are plans to expand food production through aggressive mechanisms in the country.
According to a statement issued by Ajuri Ngelale,
presidential spokesperson, Tinubu spoke on Sunday when he received a delegation
from the Global Tijaniyya Movement led by Muhammad Mahe Niass, at the
presidential villa in Abuja.
The president said his administration would transform
agriculture to make Nigeria self-sufficient in food production and exportation.
He also said he would support initiatives focused on
providing ease to hajj pilgrims in the country.
He said his plans on boosting agriculture would be achieved
through “expansion of farmlands, the provision of low-interest loans to
farmers, and significant investments in irrigation infrastructure.”
“We are dedicated to equipping hospitals with modern
equipment, providing healthcare professionals with training, and ensuring
social welfare for every citizen, including comprehensive health insurance
coverage,” the statement reads.
“Nigeria will become a net exporter of food. We are bringing
thousands of tractors. Food production will be greatly expanded through
aggressive mechanization.
“We must be
productive as a people. That is the Sunnah and the principles I grew up
understanding.”
The president expressed appreciation to the Global Tijaniyya
Movement for their prayers and support for the nation.
He stressed that the partnership between political and
religious leaders is important to promote unity in the country.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Niass, commended
Tinubu for his unwavering commitment to Nigeria’s peace, progress, and
stability.
He expressed confidence in the president’s leadership and
conveyed the support and prayers of members of the Global Tijaniyya Movement to
the Nigerian leader.
