The Senator representing Nasarawa West, Mr Abdullahi Adamu has reaffirmed the determination of President Muhammadu Buhari to diversify the economy.
The APC Senator told News Agency of Nigeria, NAN in Abuja on Monday that the Buhari administration has said it severally that the country could no longer depend solely on oil and gas for sustenance. .
His words:
“Oil and gas have tended, over time, to spoil us. People have got used to easy money but now the wells are drying. Even if they are not, the market is becoming very hostile.
“The price has gone down and the demand for our oil is very low. Even though previous administrations sang the idea of diversifying the economy, they did not do it.
“Buhari has said that he would make deliberate efforts to diversify the economy and bring on board, new attitude toward agricultural production.
“He believes as much as we do that agriculture holds the greatest potential for job creation. ’’
