What's This Govt's Stance On Agriculture?

Hello everyone.It's been a while here. Build up to the 2023 general election, I was an ardent fan of BAT based on the reputation he has but now, while I might not have regretted that fanship, I must say that I've been very disappointed in this one year of BAT's regime.In the manifesto presented by APC/BAT, there are detailed processes that will be undertaken by the govt if elected but as far as I'm concerned, these processes have not yielded the positive fruits. Infact, life's been more difficult since he came onboard.I believe that the reason for this failure is not far-fetched. I think he has the poor set of ministers of any administration post-1999. The moment I saw the likes of Matawalle becoming the Minister of State for Defence, then I knew this administration is bound to fail with these set of people. So far, I've not been proved wrong. Only 2 or 3 ministers are actually working per Nigerian standards.My concern is mainly in the aspects of Agriculture. Last independence day I think, the president made a convincing speech of all the plans ahead and I was more interested in the Agricultural sector. I was expecting so much but for now I don't even know the name of the Minister for Agriculture.I believe one of the manifestos was ensuring food security but so far I haven't seen any concrete plan on the part of the govt in ensuring food security at all. I might be wrong but if there's any, I will like to know. There's a galloping inflation on the prices of food items in the market and these foodstuffs are produced in the country.So far, I've not seen any tangible plan in place in ensuring that our already compromised food security won't deteriorate any further.P.S. No tribal sentiment. Please if you'll respond, do so with an open mind free of sentiments or inclinations.Thank you.
