Nigeria to stop wheat importation in five years, says FG
The Minister of Agriculture, Abubakar Kyari has said that the efforts being made by the Federal Government would end the importation of wheat seeds in the next four to five years, noting that the importation was gulping the country’s foreign reserves
Kyari spoke to journalists shortly after inspecting assorted seed wheat productions in Kano on Friday, as he expressed satisfaction that the local production was the vital component of the farming.
He stated, “We are fully committed towards massive wheat production in the upcoming dry seasons farming for local and foreign export actions,” he said
He explained that President Bola Tinubu’s renewed agenda was aimed at making sure that Nigeria secured food production.
He added, “In the next four to five years, with the programmes set out, Nigeria will completely stop importation of wheat seeds and be self-sufficient, which would enhance food production and security.”
