Bola Tinubu on Sunday said his administration is keen to make Nigeria a net exporter of agricultural products.
Tinubu said this on Sunday when speaking to a delegation from the Global Tijaniyya Movement led by Khalifa Muhammad Mahe Niass at the presidential villa, in Abuja.
“Nigeria will become a net exporter of food. We are bringing thousands of tractors.
“Food production will be greatly expanded through aggressive mechanisation. We must be productive as a people,” he said.
