We Will No Longer Need To Import Rice And Tomato And More If Elected As The President - Buhari

General Muhammadu Buhari who is the presidential candidate of APC has said he would focus on agriculture, mining and infrastructure, therefore we would not need to import rice anymore and other produce we are capable of growing if he’s elected.

He was quoted as saying that how can Nigeria be importing virtually everything, like tomatoes? “If I am elected, basic items like rice and tomatoes, which we have the capacity to produce, will be banned from being imported.

He also said he would focus on the provision of infrastructure such as power and roads.

He added, “Our studies show that we will require no less than 200,000 trained personnel to support the initiative to provide power and light up Nigeria.

“Apart from the inherent direct employment that this will give, the reduction in the cost of production, the savings from self-generation by Nigerians, who currently spend a lot of their income on purchase of diesel and petrol to generate their own electricity, will reduce the burden on their disposable income.”
