Grow your own food, control population – Buhari advises Nigerians


Former President Muhammadu Buhari has advised Nigerians to keep growing their own foods and control population growth.


The former President expressed satisfaction that a considerable number of Nigerians have embraced farming once again.


Buhari, however, expressed deep concern over the unchecked rise in population within the nation, saying the situation now calls for immediate attention.


He spoke to journalists after participating in the Kofor Arewa Eid prayer in Katsina on Sunday, in light of the current conditions in the nation.


“The need for greater discussion and awareness about this problem, (uncontrolled population growth) as well as a need to invest more in education and health.


“Let us grow our own food. We have shown that we can do it. This is not the time to relent when we see prices going up. Let us buy what is produced in the country.


“The foundation of a prosperous and stable country has been laid by successive governments, and I encourage our youth, in particular, to continue to play an active role in various nation-building efforts,” he said.
