Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration, alleging a significant downturn in Nigeria’s agricultural trade balance. According to Atiku, Nigeria has shifted from a N740.27 billion surplus to a N56.13 billion deficit in agricultural trade within a single year. He claims this indicates a preference for food imports over supporting local farmers. The accusation suggests a policy shift that undermines domestic agricultural production in Nigeria. Atiku, who was the presidential candidate for the ADC, views the figures as deeply concerning. This development raises questions about the Tinubu administration’s commitment to agricultural self-sufficiency in Nigeria. The details were released on Wednesday, according to Vanguard News.
