I want to start by congratulating Media Trust Limited for this very praiseworthy effort at establishing a television station. I have followed with very keen interest, the progress your organisation is making in the media industry. I am really impressed, and I am sure I am not alone in this. The only thing I can do is to pray that the Almighty God would continue to guide your efforts and ensure that the success you dream of is realised.
Having said this, I want to identify myself with the efforts of this administration to ensure that agriculture receives a new lease of life. Since President Muhammadu Buhari came on board in 2015, he made it very clear that agriculture must be placed in the front burner.
Mr Shubham Chaudhuri, Country Director for Nigeria, Africa Region, stated this when he visited the management of Media Trust Limited, publishers of Daily Trust, other titles and Trust TV in Abuja on Thursday.
He advised Nigeria to remove subsidies from petroleum and electricity saying it will free up funds to be invested in other critical areas of the economy while subsidy removal on electricity will attract investors.
He said the N150bn deducted by the NNPC as subsidy should have gone into the federation account as revenue for developmental projects.
Chaudhuri said the subsidy regime only subsidised the rich and the economy of neighbouring countries like Niger Republic.
