Apparently as a first step towards addressing the current food crisis in the country, the Federal Government has approved the release of a whopping N80 billion for the importation of rice into the country.
More twenty years ago, Nigeria was embarked in Rice importation to feed her citizens during austere time like this when there was a shortage of food. Again this is another knee jerk reaction that would only put money in the pocket of the operatives of the project reminiscent of the Dr. Umaru Dikko of the Shagari era.
The sorry lesson in all this is that Nigeria has not learned a lesson. Any wise nation like China did would have shut their doors and implemented a blue print to grow the major stable food to avert this kind squalor that Nigeria always finds her. The questions therefore how times must we die as a nation before we are set free? Unfortunately come twenty years again Nigeria would still be in the business of rice Importation. I have said it before and I would repeat myself we need leaders bottom-line
