Buhari Asks Nigerians To Be Patient, Says Rice Price To Fall After Launch Of Pyramids

President Muhammadu Buhari flanked by Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi; Governor of CBN, Godwin Emefiele; President Rice Farmer Association of Nigeria Aminu Goronyo; Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu Abubakar; Jigawa State Governor Muhammad Baderu Abubakar; Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi; Cross Rivers State Governor Ben Ayade; SGF Boss Mustapha; Chief of Staff Ibrahim Gambari; Jigawa State Governor Muhammad Baderu Abubakar; President Aliko Group Aliko Dangote and others during the launch...

“I am aware that the bags of paddy will be moving straight from here to rice milling plants across Nigeria, which lead to the release of processed rice to the markets by the rice millers. The measure will aid our efforts at reducing the price of rice in Nigeria. “The significance of today’s occasion can be better understood by looking at the various economic strides the administration has achieved through agriculture.

“Fellow Nigerians, our gathering here today, is no doubt a testament to the fact that the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme is working. Indeed, these sky-high pyramids which we are gathered here to commission are part of our commitment to achieving national food security and economic diversification through home-grown policies targeted at securing food for all Nigerians.

“For instance, the improved rice seedlings have helped to ensure our achievement of rice sufficiency, as they are disease-resistant and have an average yield of about 5 metric tonnes per hectare, compared with the traditional national average of 1.5 metric tonnes. This, he said, had been done in the hope that farmers can have ready buyers of their produce, thereby resolving the current logistical challenge of moving their produce from farm to markets.

We are waiting..

Wetin man nor go see for this country 🙄

This pyramid of lies, will soon collapse

Are you sure

God will insha Allah the price will reduce so soon

Shey na this 1 the hole country go chop

Good job

Leaders and high politicians are out of touch with the reality. Will the pyramids boost the general output or open the border or make good and healthy rice surface in the markets?

Kamar yadda kiman Allah yama buhari

Really? We are waiting.

Does it mean that it is artificial scarcity just to show off to the world while Nigerians are starving? Who will take responsibility for stomach ulcers or at worst case death resulting from this? May God help us.

Now how fer about the fall of the prices of rice the lunches the pyramid

Patients again untill leave the villa

Empty promises. Where is the money to even purchase the rice? Good riddance.

Only a foolish man will assemble pyramid of rice for pictures and lies, yet his household is hungry for food. Shameless MBuhari

To how much ...pls

We have learnt to cope with your hardship situation you inflicted on us

I think when some of these our leaders begin to leaves in the present our situation will start to get better....G-nut, rice pyramids work for Nigeria in 70s...we are in a new world now....engage youths in decision making to know what they want....

Story that touch

GREAT MR PRESIDENT.

I can’t wait

Oya naah, rice wea be say Na cruse full am

Pls something has to be done about the price

Damn this is a joke 🤣🤣🤣

Na be cause say 18/2/2023

You wicked government, wants to come and share us poison in the name of rice

It all boils down to one thing which is voting right come next election.

Pyramids of rice that can not feed Nigerians for a day😅

Allah ya taimakeshi akan aiki alkhairin daya saka a gaba.

We are waiting already

Oga go and eat your rice are we not buying the ones in the market ?

Patiently waiting

Only God know watin una don use the pyramid do ..

we r waiting.

you still need to visit your medics

Must we build a pyramid with commodity that is not enough to feed the nation? Ekiti has built, how much is rice in the state and others that had built rice pyramid?

Rice way politicians want to customise for election campaign ?

From change to next level, from next level to.....? Chaii! A nation of magicians; Mr President we have been waiting and nothing positive changes has ever happened since you took over power. Please don't take us for a ride

So we should be patient till after you leave the position.While we are dying of hunger.

All this na bag of Sand,it's not rice inside those bags...

Please how many pyramids are there and how will it crash the prices? Simple economics when supply exceeds demand, price falls-if we have this commodity in abundance why can't we purchase at a cheap rate we need to understand that human beings are behind every economic statistics

Shameless

Beg or force the cabals to stop their wicked acts of price hoarding or else the masses will continue to suffer from this Government inaction!

Because election is coming up scam alert 🚨

Nigeria my con3

So laughable. Will the lunch bring literally bring the price down? Or what? Where a bag of rice cost more than the minimum wage? When was the last time the price of a commodity raise and then come down in Nigeria? I only see bags of rice to be shared to government officials.

Those that mean all the local rice in Nigeria are taken to Abuja for the pyramid

Mumu 🤣 🤣 president , he forgot that he has jut one more years to go. Incompetent presidor

Leave rice 4 now let's see dolar fall to naira..if not then we chasing shadows open the boarders let there be free trade entry and dont monopolize Dangote

Patience is all they keep saying

For how many years

Be patient on empty stomach already

The pyramids could be for him, I guess he's planning to travel real soon. 🤔

Was this the reason why you lifted the BAN on Twitter so as to use the platform to sell your fallacy and propaganda

This is a better JOKE than Change begins with me

😂 he always made me laugh than a professional comedian … why do we have to wait we never live on ur government .. you can eat all the rice .. false hope

How? When fuel price will be increased next month.

We hope so

I don't know why this is funny to me 😏

We are patiently waiting sir
