President Tinubu, after a meeting with state governors and key officials, reaffirmed his commitment to addressing food security challenges in Nigeria.
He emphasized the need for home-grown solutions, promoting local food production over importation to curb rent-seeking and fraud.
Tinubu urged support for farmers and discouraged price controls, emphasizing the inspection of hoarded food warehouses.
The president highlighted plans for livestock development and a commodity board to regulate food prices.
This follows a court order for the federal government to set prices for goods and petroleum products, as the administration aims to navigate challenges and prioritize self-sufficiency in food production.
