Isa (Sokoto State) – Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State has urged the Federal Government to immediately stop the export of foodstuff to neighbouring countries, especially through the land borders.
Tambuwal made the call in Isa Local Government Area while launching the 2017 dry season wheat farming on Saturday.
He also called on the federal government to come up with emergency plans to purchase excess grains from the farmers so as to boost the nation’s grains reserve.
He decried the massive exportation of grains from Nigeria, saying it posed great danger to the nation’s food security.
“Considering our population, we must take measures that will enhance food security in our country,” the Governor said.
