The Maize Association of Nigeria (MAAN) has charged the Nigerian government to sustain the ban on Maize importation into the country to further boost maize production and encourage farmers.
The National President of MAAN Dr Bello Abubakar made this call at the inauguration of the first National Maize Pyramids and flag-off of the 2021 wet season farming organized by MAAN in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in Katsina state northwest Nigeria.
Dr Abubakar said maize farmers in the country were currently producing enough to meet up the demand of maize in Nigeria.
“We say no to maize importation into Nigeria and we will always support the Central Bank of Nigeria for denying maize importers forex because the CBN supports President Muhammadu Buhari’s agenda of ‘eat what we produce and produce what we Eat’ as far as maize is concerned we can produce enough for our consumption and industrial use”, he noted.
