Revive Agriculture, End Nigeria’s Economic Woes – Gov Ambode

In the midst of the current economic challenges, Lagos State governor,  Mr. Akinwumi Ambode, has said that the only way  the economy will be revitalised is by going back to agriculture.

He added that there is no point lamenting over the fall of oil price as well as the depreciation of the naira  but to get the economy back on track, adding that the state of the nation’s economy requires all hands to be on deck to salvage the plunging economic situation .

“We did sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kebbi State government on agriculture , it is a pointer to tell you the direction President Buhari is going. Let’s tell ourselves the truth , we have to be fair to ourselves , we have to reintegrate and get the economy back , the real solution lies in our hands and the platform is agriculture and that is our position here. In that MoU with Kebbi State government, we brought our comparative advantage to the table to move the economy forward,” he said.

Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki as well as the speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara were absent at the 8th Bola Tinubu Colloquium tagged: “ Agriculture Action Work Revolution”  which many described as the biggest political gathering of the ruling party.
