Only a blind man wont see improvement You and your type that didn't vote for him are tired of staying without looting, but the majority that voted for him are still with him, and they will votes for him again and again

Indeed!

Nice, but the rate of forming cmte these days are hummm!

Abba Kyari?

Food security with the rate farmers are killed and their farms set ablaze.

Government policies should match up, personally I think there is a mismatch except they are referring to "BEEF SECURITY"

That's good development. Any country that can feed itself is a reach country.

Nice one .. hunger just too much for Naija..

Zombified

We will see our food will be surplus with the unending killing of farmers by herdsmen.

Ok

And the food basket of the nation , Benue is left out. So even food security is politicised. Shame.

So so true

Dont mind the useless frustrated wailers and children of hate

Solid team with solid objective. Mr president has never hidden his desire to diversify the the Nigerian economy through agriculture.

The objectives of the council do not require all this setting up the council in the first place. What do we have ministers of agriculture, interior, defense, etc. If these ministries were functional we wouldn't be having famine, herdsmen terrorism, etc. And to make matters worse, the council will be chaired by PMB!

"the food basket of the nation" has been relegated to underground.

did you read before commenting?

Has anybody noticed that the Federal govt for a long time now does not do any program, commission any project and or invlove south east governors in many activities going on in the country just as he's doing in the North. Well it's just an observation and it seems the South don't even care as their states moves better than all in the North.

Benue nko? So that mass burial is still paining Buhari that he decided to exclude Benue State which beats all of these other states, in of food production?

He is no longer in the good books of APC. Don't forget that APC is not a party of meritocracy, it's a party of cronyism and kporakpocracy.

If not for hateful politics by this government, why is the government of Benue state not represented. When you talk of agriculture in Nigeria, Benue state is number one. What is the Federal government playing at. It is like Trump calling for a technology summit and leaving out California because they are liberal and slag him pillar to post. Everything in this government is politicised and personally so. Just too bad. And you are here talking about hate when the pre-eminent person cannot rise above it.

Why cant u just shut up and use ur brain for once. Everybody must not be represented in everything. This is an initiative of the federal govt not a "come n chop" association. Its buhari's idea and he knows whom he wants there. Besides, why will he want to include people who dont his policy

U need to back off this mediocrity ideology. And allow the president do his job

The Gov of Benue State is not on this list! May God help President Buhari get it right!!
