We must go back to farming – President Buhari insists

"We must go back to farming," President Buhari said this during his working visit to Zamfara State yesterday.

His words:

“As the people of the state are aware the change agenda was the central issue of our 2015 electioneering campaign.

Since this administration’s assumption of office in May 2015, the journey to fix the country and restore the hope of the common man in the Nigerian project has begun in earnest.

You have all agreed to join me and work as agents of change, the challenge of all of us, therefore, is translating the change into reality. I, therefore, wish to call on everyone to think closely about the Nigerian situation.

There is no easy money to throw around; we must go back to farming, livestock rearing so that we could develop the industries. We must put our hands on deck to ensure the success of our mission in engineering Nigeria.

If efforts were made in the past to diversify the economy from our absolute reliance on a single commodity, we would not have found ourselves in our current situation. I assure all Nigerians that the grim economic situations are passing phase which all societies go through.”
