Content creators observe as Senate urges Nigerians to Return to Farm and Solve Hunger Problem
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Industry, Senator Francis Fadahunsi, has called on Nigerians to embrace farming in order to tackle the hunger cr+sis currently facing the nation.
Speaking with journalists in Ilase-Ijesa, Osun State, on Tuesday, the Osun East lawmaker urged citizens to return to agriculture and produce food in large quantities. He maintained that food sufficiency would ease the pressure of hardship on families.
Commending President Bola Tinubu for adopting some of the recommendations given to him on p+verty reduction, Fadahunsi expressed optimism that Nigerians would experience relief before the year runs out.
“I am farming. Everybody should farm. If there is no hunger, automatically, we will be thinking right. The development is coming. What I have seen in the National Assemblies is real, and so on.
“Automatically, before the end of this year, things will go down. Just recently, when we went for the NEC meeting, President Tinubu advised the governors to go deep into the local areas and invest more.
That’s an executive order, and I am very sure any Governor that does not do that will lose his credibility because of the quantum of money being allocated to them,” Fadahunsi said.
He further appealed to Nigerians of voting age to take part in the ongoing Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) exercise, stressing that active participation is key to inclusive governance.
“I have personally gone around to ensure that stakeholders who will facilitate the process are actively on board. Particularly, reaching the Kings, custodians of cultural heritage, and community leaders.
“We are urging people in the community to register. Including the longtime settlers in our environment, the Hausa farmers, Fulani herdsmen, and the Igedes. They all must register and get a PVC,” he added.
