Buhari asks CBN to halt forex for fertiliser, food itemsAccording to a statement made by Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Mallam Garba Shehu, said;
“We have a lot of able-bodied young people willing to work and agriculture is the answer. We have a lot to do to support our farmersâ€
“From only three operating in the country, we have 33 fertilizer blending plants now working. We will not pay a kobo of our foreign reserves to import fertilizer. We will empower local producers.â€
The President also directed that blenders of fertiliser should convey products directly to state governments so as to skip the cartel of transporters undermining the efforts to successfully deliver the products to users at reasonable costs.
He also advised private businesses bent on food importation to source their foreign exchange independently, saying “use your money to compete with our farmers instead of using foreign reserves to bring in compromised food items to divest the efforts of our farmers.

Notably, the Vice Chairman of the council and Governor of Kebbi, Atiku Bagudu, the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari and a Governor from each of the six geo-political zones – Jigawa, Plateau, Taraba, Ebonyi, Lagos and Kebbi, made presentations.

DO YOU AGREE? “President Buhari Is Incompetent & Useless†– Islamic Cler
The media space has been set abuzz following the surfacing of a video showing an Islamic cleric by the name Adam Albani vituperating the President Muhammadu Buhari led government for gross incompetence and the hardship it has caused the generality of Nigerians in recent memory.
The viral video, which was posted by SaharaReporters, shows the cleric passionately excoriating the government over its failure to make good on it’s responsibilities to the Nigerian citizenry.
In the video, the cleric labeled the president as ‘incompetent’ and demanded his immediate resignation in view of the President’s call for former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to resign when the country was mired in a quagmire of insecurity during the latter’s presidency.
He said:-
“Was it not you who told Jonathan to resign because there was insecurity in the land? Will you also not resign because of your incompetence�
“What is our benefit as citizens? No peace, no unity. The state you are from, they are cursing you.
They are saying may Allah curse you because you are useless in their eyesâ€.
“What is the benefit of your presidency or that you are commander-in-chief of the armed forces? May your kind be purged from the landâ€
“What sort of situation is this? If we talk we are arrested and detained. Anyone who attempts it, may he be cursed.
“To be honest, no one can save us from this mess if not Allah. The president is incompetent. The governors are incompetent. The lawmakers have failed. Making fake laws and deceiving the people and stealing from themâ€.
The cleric, who spoke in his native Hausa, towards the end of his verbal tirade switched to English when he questioned, “What kind of leadership do we have in Nigeria�
