Nigeria. President Balla amed Singoble House
Order security operatives in the country to go

2
00:00:05,519 –> 00:00:10,439
after people holding food in warehouses,
most especially in Kerno and other states across

3
00:00:10,439 –> 00:00:15,599
the nation. President Balla Tenable made
this known during an emergency meeting with the

4
00:00:15,599 –> 00:00:21,280
thirty six states governors held at as
Villa in Abuja on Thursday. President Synoble,

5
00:00:21,320 –> 00:00:25,839
in a statement he personally signed after
the emergency meeting, said he will

6
00:00:25,879 –> 00:00:30,359
not approve the importation of food into
the country, adding that he will not

7
00:00:30,480 –> 00:00:36,719
also establish price control board. The
statement creating quotes below, The Nigerians High

8
00:00:36,799 –> 00:00:43,399
Administration is dedicated to evolving homegrown solutions
to tackle our nations food security challenges head

9
00:00:43,399 –> 00:00:47,640
on, including setain up schemes to
both start local food production and cut out

10
00:00:47,679 –> 00:00:52,920
all forms of rent seeking tag to
food importation. I reated this commitment during

11
00:00:52,960 –> 00:00:57,759
my emergency meeting today at the State’s
House without thirty six States Governors, the

12
00:00:57,840 –> 00:01:03,240
Vice President, Clashim Chetima, the
National Security Advisor, the Inspects of General

13
00:01:03,320 –> 00:01:07,400
of Police, the Director of General
of the DSS and some ministers and the

14
00:01:07,480 –> 00:01:12,439
Security of Lives and Property one.
I have approved the creation of a committee

15
00:01:12,480 –> 00:01:18,760
that includes state governors and federal government
representatives to explore, among other things,

16
00:01:18,799 –> 00:01:23,120
the possibility of establishing state police.
Two. I have also endorsed the training

17
00:01:23,159 –> 00:01:29,560
and equipping of forest rangers by sub
national governments to protect human and natural resources

18
00:01:29,599 –> 00:01:34,319
in our communities. My stance is
unequivocal. We must move aggressively to examine

19
00:01:34,319 –> 00:01:41,959
the issued rest including the potential for
establishing state police and food security. Following

20
00:01:42,000 –> 00:01:46,799
reports out of Canoe and other areas
about large scaleholding of food in some warehouses,

21
00:01:46,879 –> 00:01:51,560
I have instructed the National Security Advisor, the Inspector General of Police,

22
00:01:51,680 –> 00:01:56,159
and the Director of General of the
Department of State Services to coordinate closely to

23
00:01:56,319 –> 00:02:00,200
ensure that security agencies in the States
inspect softwarehouses and take follow up action.

24
00:02:01,120 –> 00:02:07,400
One. We cannot allow speculators,
carders and rent seekers to undermine our efforts

25
00:02:07,439 –> 00:02:12,479
in ensuring that food is widely available
to all Nigerians. Two. I will

26
00:02:12,520 –> 00:02:15,919
not establish your price control board,
nor will I approve the importation of food.

27
00:02:16,639 –> 00:02:23,080
We must extricate ourselves from this predicament
because importation only enable rent seekers to

28
00:02:23,159 –> 00:02:28,800
perpetrate fraud and mismanagement at our collective
expense. Three. Instead, we will

29
00:02:28,879 –> 00:02:32,199
support our farmers with schemes that encourage
them to cultivate more food for the nation.

30
00:02:34,199 –> 00:02:39,039
For we must also rapidly but thoughtfully
implement our livestock development and management plans,

31
00:02:39,080 –> 00:02:45,159
including dairy farming and others. On
monetary policy and re cdyend, I

32
00:02:45,280 –> 00:02:49,439
ot oll governors to trust the Central
Bank of Nigeria with the management of our

33
00:02:49,479 –> 00:02:55,199
countries monetary policy and emphasize the need
for designated institutions to effectively fulfill their mandates.

34
00:02:55,759 –> 00:03:01,319
The cacophony of constellations on the fluctuation
of foreign exchange REX is adversely affecting

35
00:03:01,360 –> 00:03:07,240
the market. Not everyone can be
an expact. If we have assigned some

36
00:03:07,360 –> 00:03:10,639
montors, we must allow them to
perform it. If they’re failed, then

37
00:03:10,680 –> 00:03:15,680
we must find a way to quickly
remove them from the system. I also

38
00:03:15,759 –> 00:03:20,560
ask our governors to always prioritize the
welfare and prosperity of our people in their

39
00:03:20,599 –> 00:03:24,439
development programs, and I assure them
that the Federal government will continue to work

40
00:03:24,439 –> 00:03:30,599
diligently to improve the nation’s revenue profile. As leaders, we must all work

41
00:03:30,639 –> 00:03:35,879
together to address issues of insecurity,
food security and out of school children.

42
00:03:36,680 –> 00:03:39,879
What’s as you are on, lady, bringing you the needs in the mortgage
