Reno again

Someone asked me why the price of a bag of rice skyrocketed from ₦8,000 under Goodluck Jonathan to ₦26,000 today under President Muhammadu Buhari, my response is this: When you replace a Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, whose highest educational qualification is a PhD in Agricultural Economics from Purdue University and who was a fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation and whose goal at the agriculture ministry was achieving food security for Nigeria, with an Audu Ogbeh, whose highest educational qualification is a masters in French Literature from the Université de Toulouse and whose goal at the agriculture ministry is to import grass from Brazil and create grazing reserves for herdsmen, what you get is skyrocketing food prices.
