That is why we instituted those agricultural policies. I said we must grow what we eat and eat what we grow.<\/p>\n<p>This is a country that was once dependent on foreign rice. We closed the border to foreign rice. I said why can\u2019t we eat Nigerian rice, and with the policies put in place, Nigerians are eating home grown rice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Buhari also played up the successful implementation of the Treasury Single Account, TSA saying money had been saved from unscrupulous government officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found a tough man (Hamid Ali) for the job at the Customs. One day, he came to me and saying that they had intercepted 20 fuel tankers about to cross the border. I said to him sell the fuel and the tankers and put the money in TSA. Before this time, that money would have found its way to the numerous mysterious \u2018government\u2019 accounts.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>On the suggestion by Alhaji Ya\u2019u Umar Gojo-Gojo, the Commissioner of Local Governments and Chieftaincy Affairs, who led the council chairmen that the agricultural policies of the administration be made into law to ensure continuity under the all incoming administrations, President Buhari said such good policies will commend themselves to any government.<\/p>\n<p>Gojo-Gojo commended the President for initiating several measures to transform agriculture in order to increase farmers\u2019 income during the last seven years.<\/p>\n<p>He told the President that before this time, Katsina people knew how to eat rice but had no inkling as to grow and process it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday Mr. President,\u201d said the Commissioner, \u201crice is grown in all our communities. There are at least 30 small scale rice processing mills in the state. People have embraced animal husbandry and they are making a lot of money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Commissioner also briefed the President about the security situation in the state, saying that the state\u2019s amended security law had brought everyone into the mix- state government, local governments, traditional rulers and the ordinary citizens with each one playing their part in helping to reduce the worrisome security threats facing the state.<\/p>\n<p>President Buhari reiterated his earlier statement that the farm in Daura, handed to him by his forefather was the next thing on his mind when he leaves of office next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President has also lauded the nation\u2019s farmers for the record production of rice and other food commodities, expressing satisfaction that the agricultural policies of the administration are working to good effect.
