C.B.N.:OVER N300BILLION
VOTED FOR AGRIC IN THE NORTH
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU
TIGA DAM IS USED SERIOUSLY FOR FARMING IN THE NORTH
AT least N300 Billion is believed would be pumped into the
nation’s agricultural sub-sector of the
economy sooner than later ,if feelers are to be taken very seriously.
In a world exclusive investigations by the News Office Desk
of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria ,it was discovered that the
entire amount will be spent only on farmers from the Northern bloc of the land.
An impeccable source who is a worker at the Latter Rain
Assembly in Akilo Road in Ikeja,Lagos,Nigeria told this reporter recently that
their spiritual Head and Senior Pastor,Tunde Bakare had told the church’s 3,000
strong work force during a recent strategic session of how current Central Bank
of Nigerian Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele had told him during a recent visit to
his home of the current policy thrust of the Buhari regime,which will involve the
splashing of N300Billion on Northern farmers while efforts will be made to support manufacturing in the Southern
part of the country as this was their specialty and not farming.
When this reporter queried the rationale behind such a move, the source insisted that he knew
exactly what he was saying and even wondered aloud whether he has ever lied
before to this reporter.
He explained that Pastor Tunde Bakare had told them at the meeting that President
Muhammadu Buhari had taken the decision because there were more farmers of
Northern extraction than in the south.
From analysts view of
agriculture in Nigeria,it is true that there are more individual farmers in the
North but subsistence farming does not make up to five percent of agriculture
in real terms and only approaching it from a mechanized perspective and involving
all the six geo-political zones will augur well for Nigeria.
