A farmer cries out that his multimillion poultry farm is dying as he cannot afford the high cost incurred in feeding the birds as food inflation has increased. Sad. In response, the SA to Mr President goes online to launch a "gofund me" for the farmer. Like seriously? The SA and the Charity drive do not address the issues raised 1. High cost of food, I.e. food inflation 2. Lack of agricultural credit to existing farmers 3. Absence of finance options to raise working capital even to a multimillion farm 4. High cost of doing business in Nigeria The SA is not the Minister of the economy, but this was an opportunity to sell wonderful agricultural policies of the last 8 years of the past administration that created high food prices and perhaps introduce the new plans of the incoming administration Giving charity to farmers is not a strategy. We can't build and diversify the economy via "dash" The farmer should not be helped because of who he voted for or did not vote for, rather that farmer should receive support because he is creating jobs and contributing to the economy. Let's all do better.
