The President also assured, before he leaves in 2023, the country will be “more secured” than he found it.
Buhari also said, he sees “agriculture as something very close to his heart”. He is of the belief that the time has come when we have to produce what we eat as well as eat what we produce.
His administration is highly committee to the development of agriculture also ensuring food sufficient and food security in the country.
President Buhari made these assurances through Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, his Chief Of Staff (COS), during a work visit to critically examine the work level at the Agriculture Machinery and Equipment Development Institute (AMEDI) on Sunday, in the Nasarawa State Capital, Lafia.
Gambari hailed the leadership of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), for their commitment and progress achieved on the project.
He said, “President has asked me to come here to inspect and see the tremendous physical development that is taking place in NASENI, particularly one of the six Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Development Institutes.
“President Buhari regards agriculture as something very close to his heart because he believes that the time has come where we must produce what to eat and to eat what we produced and to ensure food sufficiency and food security.
“He is very proud to be associated with this state, he is very proud of the significant development that has taken place in this state, God willing by the time of the end of his administration, he will leave Nigeria more united, prosperous, and secured than he found it.”
Earlier, Prof. Mohammed Haruna, Executive Vice Chairman of NASENI, said, “Science, technology, and innovation have always been the source of development and prosperity of all nations.
“The yardstick of measuring the willingness and readiness of Nigeria to transit from a community-based economy to a manufacturing economy is the degree to which NASENI’s role is applied to all aspects of our socio-economic endeavor.”
