The President, who spoke through a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Tuesday, said further: “this destruction to farmlands is particularly worrisome because it comes at a time my government is vigorously pursuing efforts to boost local rice production and end importation of the commodity.

“Since agriculture is the largest employer of labour and a major source of income for most ordinary Nigerians, the destruction of rice farms in Jigawa State is bad news not only for the victims, but also for the government policy of achieving food sufficiency and food security in the country.”

The President extended his sympathies to the victims and assured them that government would not abandon them.
