President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday insisted that his government will ensure that the central bank of Nigeria does not provide foreign currency for those who import food or fertilizers into the country.

 

  Buhari said instead of making forex available for import, he would empower local farmers and producers, adding that there are able-bodied people willing to work and "agriculture is the answer".

 

  The President wrote;

 

  “I repeat that no one who imports food or fertilizers should receive foreign exchange from the central bank. We won't pay a Kobo of our currency reserves to import food or fertilizers. Instead, we will empower local farmers and producers.

 

  We have many fit young people ready to work and agriculture is the answer. "

 

  In response to Buhari's testimony, a Nigerian Twitter user @ Intergrity56 pointed out that his son Yusuf Buhari is also a capable man.

 

  "Yusuf is also a capable young man." he wrote.
