The question I think I get asked a lot, why do you export?
I will make a series of tweets answering:
1. Why Nigerian Farmers Should Export Herbs, Vegetables, and Spices
2. How Exporting Helps the Nigerian Economy
3. Is It Better to Keep Food for Local Consumption?
4. Recommendations for Balancing Export and Local Needs
I will post at intervals today.

"Do you know that Nigerian lawmakers earn more money than their counterparts in the US, UK, or Canada? Meanwhile, a university professor earns less than $500 a month."
Tune in to DECLASSIFIED today at 6 PM as @realJudebela explores why Nigerian lawmakers are paid like kings.
Today, I continued my show of support and encouragement to critical areas of human development in our society with a visit to four educational Institutions in Kaduna state. The visit was in line with my unwavering commitment to investing in our people through education, healthcare, and human capital development.
First, I visited the Muhammad Sambo Memorial Islamic Institute founded by Sheikh Yusuf Sambo Rigachukwu. I gave my support to the school and assured them that I will always be available and committed to supporting their efforts, now and in the future.
I then visited the Madarasatul Hidayyatul Auladi Muslimima Almajiri School in Kawo, where I have previously visited about 5 times to assist the school’s developmental projects and studies. I gave an additional donation of ₦5 million, as I have always insisted that no child deserves to be left behind, when it comes to education, and no matter their location, we can take education to them as this is the key index of pulling our people out of poverty.
After that, I proceeded to Womenhood College of Health Sciences and Technology, Kaduna, where I also donated ₦5 million, recognising the critical role the institution plays in training and empowering women in health-related fields, especially in our rural communities.
Finally, I visited St. Gerald’s College of Nursing Sciences and gave ₦10 million in support to assist their efforts in building competent and compassionate nurses. While speaking to the students, I emphasised that when we invest in education and healthcare, we’re not just building schools or hospitals, we are building the future of a secure, productive, and united Nigeria.
I pray we as leaders understand that leadership is not about the title you hold, but about the lives touched. That is the leadership Nigeria needs.
Let us continue to build a nation where no child is left behind, regardless of region, religion, or background.

The society we abuse today will eventually take its toll on our children, because they will only learn by our example. Everything we are experiencing in our country today is a reflection of the decay of civility and orderliness.
When we choose to conduct both our public and personal lives with bad behaviour and rascality, we normalise bad behaviour, lawlessness, and criminality.
I watched a heartbreaking video that showed students in Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State running for their lives as they were being shot at during their student election yesterday which left 2 students dead and several injured.
The question is: Where did they learn it from?
Are they cursed, or are we the political leaders who are cursed?
When we have chosen to "fight, snatch it, grab it, and run with it" how can we expect our children to do it rightly and democratically when they have learned from us?
This is not just disgraceful, it’s a national indictment. When we, the leaders, have chosen to fight, snatch, grab and run with it, our children have learned similar and rascality is now a normal situation.
It is now up to us, the leaders, to learn how to restore civility, order, and core values in our society by ensuring that our character and behaviour reflect the change we seek in our society.
We must do better, for our students, for our children, and for our country.
