President Muhammadu Buhari said on Tuesday that he had directed the Central Bank of Nigeria not to give any importer foreign exchange to import food into Nigeria.

Also, at a separate event on Tuesday, Buhari said he would set performance targets for his new ministers, while someone with expertise in agriculture would head the Federal Ministry of Agriculture.

He spoke at his country home in Daura, Katsina State, when the All Progressives Congress’ governors visited him to share the Eid-el-Kabir lunch with him. He added that the states became successful in rice farming by embracing the Federal Government’s policy on agriculture, aiming primarily to feed Nigerians with home-grown food.

The President also spoke on his cabinet soon to be inaugurated, saying that targets would be set for the ministers to ensure that they performed. Speaking earlier, Fayemi praised Buhari for what he described as his “sense of justice, fairness and forthrightness” that gave the governors their own inspiration.

“The country is more secure than in 2015, and the country is more prosperous than in 2015 because you are working for the majority of the people,” Bagudu added.
