If
the words of the media aide to President Buhari are to be considered
valid, Nigeria has swiftly attained an international feat in rice
production.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, says Nigeria has achieved the status of
second largest producer of rice in the world, according to the
DailyTrust.
Malam Garba said this in Abuja at the weekend at a special
interactive session with the youths organized by Citizens Support for
Good Governance in Nigeria (SGGN).
The presidential media aide, who spoke on the efforts being made by
President Muhammadu Buhari to restructure the economy, called for more
patience.
He said the government met a situation in which the economy had
been ravaged, while the people had been used to lifestyles that could no
longer be sustained.
He said, “No country will develop when you have to import
virtually everything, including tooth pick and tissue paper. All the
food we eat in this country was being imported. So, all of the money
earned was just going to buy food.
“But as I speak to you now, Nigeria just achieved the record of
the second largest producer of rice in the world. The rice revolution
just started a year ago. Some of you from Nasarawa know the kind of
things going on there. A newspaper did an investigation in Kebbi and
they found out that there were 48,000 new millionaires in Kebbi state
alone last year for growing rice.
“This over reliance on oil has killed this country and we
cannot continue like this. So, the diversification of the economy means
more money will be in the hands of ordinary Nigerians. And there will be
widespread prosperity all over the country.”
He said the government intended to reach the target of 500,000 jobs
this year, having stopped at over 300,000 last year because the economy
could not support it.
He expressed happiness that “the economy is getting better, oil
price is going up and the policies of government in the Niger Delta are
beginning to calm things down”.
Malam Garba added that “exploration and exportation of oil is growing, gas is coming back and power is getting better”.
“So, all we require of you is to be patient, President
Muhammadu Buhari is a long distance runner. He is not looking for
short-term gain that people will just clap at him and those advantages
just disappear. He wants to build a future of prosperity, a future that
will be everlasting -something that will stay for generation upon
generation.
“And I assure that this is a beginning of the good things to
come. We assure you that you support for President Buhari is not
misplaced. It is well situated. We encourage you to continue to invest
your future in the hands of the government PMB. Change will come to
you.”
