We need an agricultural revolution to ramp up food production to stem the hunger crisis amongst our people, and reduce the $5 billion Nigeria spends importing food annually.

Of all the major candidates, only Waziri Atiku Abubakar has personal experience in this regard. His farms grow various agricultural produce for local consumption and export.
