Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday regretted that Nigeria loses 40 per cent of the 17 million tonnes of yams it produces annually to storage and processing problems.

According to a statement, the Vice-President spoke during the virtual inauguration and handing over of the 200,000-capacity yam storage facility at the Zaki Biam International Yam Market in Benue State.

He said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , was excited about the inauguration of the facility because “a major concern for him has been that the COVID-19 crisis does not in any way disturb agriculture and the food supply chain.

Why cant the VP tell us what his govt is doing to tackle this wastage.

We lose 6.8m tonnes of yam, but the same yam is so costly over here in the East.

Is he now the minister of yam?

Why are they losing, when there is not enough in the local market to go round. A tuber of N500 yam can hardly feed two grownups. Is that what we call abundance.

Sorry sir

Who ate the yams sir?

All the killing happen going on in Benue state we increased the yam products yeye government

, liars, where is Osibanjo? Show the world his media chat. Yoruba gutter media. May God deliver your souls from Fulani.

We're obsessed assessing problems. Vibrant Solutions, please!

Which yam? Is it the one that is not enough for consumption here or another one?

Must we lose. Everything is negative in this nation. So the Government can't provide plans for food security. What you get for voting bad leaders.

Pls if u are residing in Abuja and u are in the best position to assist me on getting a job pls help me out plssss.... Can do anything aside armed robbery...

He should show up if alive and stop sending out reported speech.

Wetin concern me, do quick make una go

This what your eye see when you’re not contented with what you have, your life would have better bin a pastor than joining politics . They now ask you to do the dirty shit smh 🤦‍♀️

You know this and you just build a storage facility for just 200,000

Are our politicians not also loosing sense annually? Where renovation of a building for less than 500 people is more important than healthcare and education that will benefit over 200 million people!

Let this man tell us what we have gained so far

Shortage of adequate storage facilities is one of the largest banes and impediments to the growth of Nigeria’s Agric sector..

Yoruba media liars where is Osinbajo

Another gutter attribute from a gutter blog. Headline readers will compliment it with their ignorance.

Yet we build a facility which can only store 200 tonnes of yam. Na wa! ProfOsinbajo

Osin bobo don appear ?

Punch has gotten the lowlifes with their negative headlining.

Osi baba is now our new minister of agriculture. Congrats sir.🤣😃

I yam that I yam

Comments here are the reason old men will keep leading us, we the youth are more concern about twitter followers and celebrities than our nation and our tomorrow

The estimation is wrong. Nigeria 🇳🇬 don't have reliable data since 1999.

On real life or on Virtual? Lol

who get the yam

Just look at the comments in here, are these the leaders of tomorrow? No constructive response at all. No wonder the old men want to die in power...SMH

Lies. How much is one tuner of Yam 🍠 in the market. Expensive bro, expensive. If they are in excess, farmers will have brought them out and prices will be relatively cheap.

Plz we wanna see our vice president speaking to us live not Photoshop

Why can't we add value to the commodity instead of the white elephant project of sending it abroad. If we've done so much on rice production, we can do same for yam

Is this Oshinbajo lookalike or what.

Orisirisi........😆😆, Wetin concerned me with yam.. Rape matter dey there no solution

Nigeria economy is in a state of paraplegic krinkum krankum

Who is counting?
