How My Government Plans to Overcome Impact of Oil Crisis - President Buhari Speaks in Riyadh

President Buhari addresses the Nigerian Community in Riyadh

President Muhammadu Buhari has that his administration was fully committed to increasing the productivity of Nigeria's agriculture and solid minerals sectors to save the nation from the harsh effects of lower crude oil prices.

Speaking at a meeting with leading members of the Council of Saudi Arabia’s Chambers of Commerce and Industry on Tuesday in Riyadh, President Muhammadu Buhari said that his administration was fully committed to increasing the productivity of Nigeria’s agriculture and solid minerals sectors to save the nation from the harsh effects of lower crude oil prices.

With declining revenues from crude oil exports, the president said Nigeria’s hopes of economic resurgence now lie in the rapid development of its immense agricultural and solid mineral resources.

The president while inviting Saudi Arabian businessmen to invest in both sectors, said his administration would welcome greater foreign investment in support of its efforts to rapidly diversify the Nigerian economy.

He said that Nigeria had regrettably depended too much on crude oil exports to the neglect of other resources and was now paying a harsh price for failing to diversify its economy early enough.

"With the downturn in the global prices of oil, we now have to prospect our solid minerals. We have to return to agriculture. Mining and agriculture are our hopes now. We will welcome investments in these areas. We will appreciate an in-flow of more resources and expertise to help us achieve our objective of economic diversification," the president said.

Abdulrahman Al Zamil, the Chairman of the Council of the Saudi Arabian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, said agriculture was a very important area of investment for its members, adding that they were already in Brazil, the United States of America and Sudan, 'where we have huge farms.'

Declaring that they were willing to invest in Nigeria, Al Zamil said that the Saudis were the leading investors in Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya and Ethiopia.

The governors of Osun, Ogun, Katsina, Borno, and Zamfara states, who were part of the president’s delegation, took turns to address the Saudi Arabian businessmen on investment possibilities in their states, assuring them of good returns.
