Stating this yesterday, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, added that it was out of place to insinuate that the Federal Government had banned importation of agricultural produce.
The presidential aide stated: “This is simply incorrect. To be absolutely clear, there is no ban – or restriction – on the importation of food items whatsoever. “Diversification of forex provision towards the private sector and away from top-heavy government control, a diversification of Nigeria’s industrial base, and an increase in tax receipt are all policies one might expect the Financial Times to support. Yet for reasons not quite clear, the author and this newspaper seem to believe the president’s administration seeks to control everything – and yet do so via policies that relinquish government control.
The initiative, according to AU, would enhance Nigeria’s development in agriculture and enable producers in the sector harness the benefit of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement recently signed by Buhari.
