Farmers demand bailout packages, urge Buhari to emulate Trump
Nigerian farmers, analysts and agricultural scientists have called on the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, roll out a strategic plan to assist crop producers, poultry and livestock farmers as the United States of America (USA) has done.
The US President Donald Trump, in a bid to bail distressed farmers out of their predicament as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, announced a $19 billion package penultimate Friday.
The breakdown of the package indicated that $16 billion would be paid directly to the affected US farmers and $3 billion would be used to purchase their farm produce for onward delivery to needy households and individuals as reliefs.
