The newly appointed National Deputy Director Organization of All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Isah Daniel, has urged Nigerian youths to diversify into agricultural production in order to ensure food security for Nigeria.
He believes strongly that this is one of the surest ways to lift the country out of its present serious economic challenges.
Comrade Daniel, a fervent supporter of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, spoke with Apex News Exclusive in Abuja.
He explained that with the current priority attention given to agricultural production through massive financial investment in this sector of the economy by Tinubu’s government, graduate youths in Nigeria have no option but to key into the various agricultural programs of APC government.
According to him, “Mr. President is on the right track of revamping the country’s economy that has been deliberately neglected by successive administration over the past few decades.”
Comrade Daniel emphasized that the youths, especially the teeming unemployed graduates, need to wake up urgently and embrace agricultural production in order to salvage the problem of food security in Nigeria.
“For example, an average people in the country today is saying that APC government is responsible for the current poor economic crisis in Nigeria; that Tinubu’s administration has come to inflict pains and hardship on the people. But I would want to take such statements as ignorant words from uninformed people. This is because the bad economic situation has been with us for a long time but most of our past leaders have not been courageous enough to tackle the problems. Fortunately for us, President Tinubu has taken up the challenge frontally when he announced from the beginning of his administration that his team is here to make a critical choice of either to follow old order or change the narrative by bringing on board new reforms that would change Nigeria.”
He continued, “to me nothing good comes out easily. There must be pains and hardship before good results come out. I have to assure all, particularly our enterprising youths, that sooner than later we will all smile again if we sincerely rely embrace the diversification policy of this government into agricultural production so that we can have sufficient food on our tables as well as have in abundance for foreign revenue.”
Comrade Daniel reminds Nigerians that the purpose of fuel subsidy removal was to enable government generate enough financial resources for reinvestment in the critical sectors of the economy and sustain infrastructural development within the country.
“I am therefore appealing to all Nigerians to be a little bit patient with the current government in the hope of a better future for Nigeria,” he said.
