The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammad Buhari (retd), on Monday said if elected on February 14, he would ban the importation of basic items like rice and tomato in order to enhance local production of the products.He also said his administration would focus on agriculture, mining, infrastructure and job provision at the top of its economic agenda. Buhari, who gave a summary of how he intended to revive the economy in a meeting with the Organised Private Sector in Lagos, said his government would place emphasis on three key issues of security, tackling corruption and reviving the ailing economy.
The meeting, which had all the key members of the APC in attendance, was hosted by the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola.
“How can Nigeria be importing virtually everything? How can we be importing even tomatoes? If I am elected, basic items like rice and tomatoes, which we have the capacity to produce, will be banned from being imported,” Buhari said.
The APC presidential candidate who is currently going through certificate scandal also promised to improve the standard of education in Nigeria if elected.

Yes, but the fact still remains that buhari is not eligible because he couldn't supply all the required credentials. Buhari and GEJ issue is just like having vision without sight and having sight without vision. We just pray God to give us the right man.Smart Omeh Hugoris
