Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed says degraded
insurgent group, Boko Haram, are responsible for the ongoing scarcity of
tomato in the country.
Speaking on Channels Television, the
Minister said farmers have been forced to quit the North East due to the
level of insecurity in the region.
According to Mohammed, “People
talk about the price of tomato but they forget one thing; they forget
that the price of tomato today is a direct result of the fact that we
have lost two years harvest to Boko Haram insurgency.
“Most
of the people you see riding Okada (motorcycles) in Lagos are people
who would have been in the farm to produce consumable items.”
Attributing the scarcity of tomatoes to insurgency, the Minister said, “Do
you farm where there is war? We have lost two seasons of harvest in
addition we have had very poor rainfall last year and this year. These
are the combined responsible for the scarcity of tomato. Go and ask
economists and agriculturists, they will tell you.”
