A former Senator, Shehu Sani has revealed that Nigeria cannot have food security with farmers being killed by terrorists.
Sani lamented that with bandits forcing the farmers to pay levies, the country can’t have food security.
Tweeting, Sani wrote: “We can’t have food security in a country where farming communities are being killed by terrorists and forced to pay levies to Bandits. The emergency declaration on food security exposed the deception about the futility of closing the land borders and those rice pyramids”
Recall that the president had declared a state of emergency on food. This was a plan to mitigate the sufferings experienced by many people in the country following the removal of fuel subsidy.
President Bola Tinubu took the decision after wide consultation with stakeholders in the agriculture, Farmers Association, Customs, co-opting the Central Bank of Nigeria, key financial experts, among others.
