The Tinubu Media Support Group (TMSG) has advised President Bola Tinubu to invest heavily in agriculture to tackle Nigeria’s economic challenges.
The TMSG Chairman, Jesutega Onokpasa, made this call at a joint news conference with BATists Against Inflation (BAI) in Abuja.
Onokpasa described agriculture investment as the quickest way for Nigeria to overcome its economic struggles.
He acknowledged that the current administration did not create these challenges but emphasised its duty to address them.
“We have been brainstorming to find implementable solutions. We believe declaring a state of emergency in agriculture and investing multiple trillions of naira annually is crucial.”
Onokpasa stressed that agriculture investment yielded quicker returns than infrastructure projects and noted Nigeria’s vast arable land.
