Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

On Wednesday, during an appearance on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Basiru mentioned that 107,429 wheat farmers have been supported, and billions of naira have been invested in the agricultural sector.

He stated, “As I speak today when you go and check the cost of living crisis, it will be not only Nigeria, not only Africa, but even advanced capitalist economies. And what are the causes?

“You will know that production globally has not even resumed back to the level it was before COVID-19. What happened with the COVID-19 pandemic was practically a shutdown of the global economy for two years. And shortly after that, you have the Ukrainian war, which affected grid supply and some other essential supplies, not only to Europe but to other parts of the world.

“Then follow on the back of that was also the crisis in the Middle East. So when you look at what is happening in the world, it’s not localised in Nigeria, it’s not localised in Africa, but it’s a global change that all of us as statesmen, as politicians, must confront with patriotism and with a clear sense of direction as to the fact that we must galvanize our economy, ensure that production and infrastructure goes to the level to be able to let us deliver on the welfare and security of our people.”

Discussing the presidency’s commitment to agriculture, he emphasized that ensuring food security is crucial for addressing the economic challenges facing the country.
