Former President Muhammadu Buhari called for increased food production and greater awareness of population growth issues during his Sallah message on Sunday.
Speaking after Eid prayers with the Emir of Daura, Dr. Faruk Umar Faruk, Buhari emphasized the importance of self-reliance in agriculture to combat rising food prices.
He also highlighted the need for discussions and investments in education and health to address the challenges posed by unchecked population growth.
In his address to National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, Buhari praised the scheme as a unifying force and donated a cow, 10 bags of rice, and cash for their celebrations.
