President Bola Tinubu has said that Nigeria’s economy is sailing in the right direction.
Speaking during a two-day visit to Katsina state where he commissioned projects completed by the governor, the president warned that hunger and poverty have remained the biggest bane to any country’s development.
Also urging for peace through the eradication of poverty, hunger and all the social injustice bedevilling the nation, the president said his administration is committed to banishing hunger.
“The economy is sailing in the right trajectory. Today, we are seeing an effort to banish hunger and a commitment to food security and the empowerment of our people.
“Small and large-scale farming will be encouraged. Once we liberate ourselves from hunger, we will appreciate peace and harmony,” Tinubu said.
He added that so far, Katsina State has witnessed a turnaround and will continue to be rewarded.
Calling for more improved means of the agricultural process, Tinubu said the people must dedicate themselves to ensuring food security for all.
“I want to assure the Nigerian public that agriculture is the heart of our progress and must be for all. We have dedicated ourselves to food security.
“We must invest in mechanisation and water management. The old style of agriculture is gone,” he said.
