What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Northern Nigeria is described as the agricultural backbone of the country, with fertile plains in states like Kano, Kaduna, and Borno contributing significantly to national food security. Crops such as millet, rice, maize, and sorghum originate largely from this region. The economic reforms introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration included the removal of the petrol subsidy and the liberalization of the foreign exchange market.
