MINISTER of Agriculture, Mohammed Sabo Nanono, says Nigeria’s borders will remain locked and the key is thrown into the lagoon.
He stated this, yesterday, at the flag-off ceremony of the distribution of agricultural inputs to farmers affected by the recent flood in Kebbi State.
He explained that the Federal Government was not ready to reopen the borders, to boost the country’s agricultural sector.
He said: “Nigerian farmers have been performing well by producing such food items as rice, millet, guinea corn, and Shea butter, among others. We are not ready to reopen the borders, which is why the Federal Government is ready to support the dry season farming to regain what farmers lost to the flood disaster.”
