News Agency of Nigeria reports that the article, with the headline, ‘Muhammadu Buhari sparks dismay over policy on food imports,’ was published on August 15, alleging that the Buhari administration had placed embargo or restrictions on food imports.
However, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in a letter addressed to the Editor of the Financial Times and made available to newsmen in Abuja on Sunday, dismissed the content of the article, describing it as incorrect.
According to the presidential aide, there is no ban or restriction placed on the importation of agricultural products into the country, as being insinuated in the report.
He maintained that the Buhari administration had consistently worked towards strengthening Nigeria’s own industrial and agricultural base.
