Rep tasks FG to revolutionise agriculture or endure revolution

A House of Representatives member from Abia state, Rep. Uzoma Abonta has challenged President Muhamnadu Buhari to revolutionise the nation’s agricultural sector or the federal government should be ready to endure a revolution of the masses.
Rep. Abonta declared that if the present administration fails to design a comprehensive agricultural policy now, then Nigeria will perpetually remain behind.
He explained that his legislative agenda would focus on agriculture and industrialisation to address the economic hardship being experienced by his constituents and other Nigerians.
The House member, who made this known while addressing newsmen in Abuja, stressed the need for the Buhari administration to address the high rate of unemployment and hunger in the land.
He further added that ”the oil sector overtook agriculture as the main stay of the economy, hence coupled with abundant food and cheap labour at the time, government was caught complacent in the efforts to move agriculture from a subsistence level to mechanised large -scale farming.
“My legislative agenda, when I look at the realities of Nigeria, I distilled and agreed that my legislative agenda will fall on agriculture and industrialization to turn around the economy because a lot of the youths are crying,” he maintained.
Meanwhile, the lawmaker, who represents Ukwa East and West Federal Constituency of Abia state, has given glory to God for his victory at the Court of Appeal.
He said that the court will continue to be the hope of the common man and a part of the electoral process, saying that “the court is part of the process; after the election my opponent went to the election tribunal and went on to the Court of Appeal.
“To God the be glory, it all came to affirm my victory. It is part of the electoral process and it happened to redefine and put things in order.”
