President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to unveil three rice pyramids cultivated and produced by the Borno state farmers association, under the Private Anchor Borrowers Programme, in conjunction with Walwanne and Sons limited, in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital on Thursday.

In a release signed in Abuja on Friday by the Senior Special Adviser, Media, to the Buhari Campaign Organisation, (BCO), Alhaji Garba Dangida, the feat confirms the commitment of the Buhari Administration to his campaign promise to reduce poverty and boost agriculture.
Kabir, is the North East Coordinator of BCO and has donated a campaign office to the organisation.
“He has kept faith with our Change Agenda and keyed into the Anchor Borrowers Programme on Rice Production in line with the cardinal agenda of the Buhari’s Administration,” Dangida stressed
Dangida stated that the rice production is an evidence that peace is gradually returning to the North east and that economic and social activities are picking up against the wishful thinking of naysayers.
He said reports of pockets of attacks by insurgents were mischief by the sect and questionable Nigerians in their disloyal plan to discredit the Buhari Government in defeating insurgency and grow local economy.
“It will also dispel the untruths and re-affirm the truism that indeed peace has returned to Borno State and that insurgents are no longer in a position to disrupt or dictate the economic and social activities in the state”
Eminent Nigerians expected at the unveiling include state governors, political and traditional leaders from the region.
