President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed delight over the abundant
rainfall in most parts of Nigeria, saying this maybe a sign of bumper
harvest for farmers across the country.
Buhari’s optimism was conveyed in a statement issued
in Abuja on Sunday from the office of the Senior Special Assistant to
the president, Malam Garba Shehu.
The president noted that with this positive development, the spectre of
agrarian distress was fast disappearing; giving rise to hope that hunger
would not rear its ugly head this year.
According to President Buhari this will represent a sharp turnaround in the fortunes in rural communities.
The president, who is farmer, had been to his farm in Daura at 7:00am on Saturday.
He said that he felt reassured about this when he saw good crop performance lining the roads all the way to his farm.
The statement said the president also expressed delight over the
decision of the Daura Emirate Council, under the leadership of the Emir
of Daura to honor him with a reception.
