Abuja, Nigeria — The Bureau Newspaper has learned that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the military to convert their vast lands into agricultural hubs to address food shortages and insecurity. This initiative was also posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

According to Hon. Babajimi Benson, Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Defence, President Tinubu has mandated the Armed Forces to prioritize farming on their extensive lands across the country. He believes that enhancing food security will contribute to reducing overall insecurity.

This strategic move aims to:

  • Utilize unused lands for food production and security.
  • Ensure no land is left ungoverned across the country.

The benefits for Nigeria include:

  • Increased food production and security.
  • Growth of local economies through agricultural development.
  • Provision of job opportunities for the residents of such areas.

In his manifesto, President Tinubu stated that his administration aims to increase the cultivated land in Nigeria from 35% of arable land to 65% within four years. This directive is poised to be a game changer for Nigeria, enhancing food productivity and creating employment opportunities.
