He gave this statement during an interview with NAN on Friday in Ota. He states that this approach will help the country manage inflation and reduce it.
“If the governments in the six geopolitical zones specialise in the production of one food item, automatically, inflation rate would be reduced to the minimised level.” In addition, Nigerians need to embark on farming to stem the prices of goods and services, which is reflected in the inflation figure.”

Supreme Court Dismisses States’ Challenge Against EFCC Act
The Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Attorneys General of several states seeking to abolish the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act.
The suit, initially brought by Attorneys General from 16 states, aimed to challenge the legal establishment of the anti-graft agency. Over time, some states, including Anambra, Ebonyi, and Adamawa, withdrew from the case, while others, such as Imo, Bauchi, and Osun, joined as co-plaintiffs during the October 22 hearing.
The apex court subsequently struck out the suits of the withdrawing states and dismissed the broader case, upholding the EFCC Act.
