Presidential Aide Bayo Onanuga’s Potato Harvest: Tips for Nigerians on Self-Sustainability
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, recently shared his experience of harvesting potatoes from his garden in Lekki-Ajah, Lagos.
He encouraged Nigerians to cultivate their own food to help reduce living costs, stating, “Grow some food; your little effort can help reduce food costs. Do something, not just tweet criticism of the government.”
This advice has sparked diverse reactions. Some individuals appreciate the initiative, viewing it as a practical step towards self-sufficiency amid rising food prices.
However, others criticize the suggestion as impractical for many urban residents who lack access to adequate gardening space.
Critics argue that the government should focus on implementing policies to address food inflation and economic challenges, rather than placing the onus on citizens to mitigate these issues individually.
