Corrupt police, Army, Customs officers contribute to hike in food prices- Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh says

Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, has blamed corrupt military officers stationed at various high ways who demand bribes from drivers of trucks carrying food stuffs from one part of the country to another, as one of the major reasons for the recent hike in food prices.



Ogbeh who said this when he appeared before the senate committee on Agriculture to demand the 2017 budget of his ministry, said the corrupt officrs mount various checkpoints on road just to extort these drivers who will hike their prices of transportation.
“One of the factors responsible for the high cost of food items is the daily unbearable extortions men of the Nigeria Police, their counterpart in the Army and Customs Service visit on truck drivers conveying farm produce from the hinterland to urban centres under the guise of carrying out security checks. These truck drivers based on raw lamentations made to the Ministry in recent time, alleged that at every check points, they are always forced to part with reasonable amount of money by any group of the security agencies, which they said, made farmers to have no option than to factor cost of the extortion into prices of the food items”.

    There are many dumb people on this blog that have refused to be educated.
    To has this mam done to deserve such insult, he pointed out the reasons why food stuffs are costly and the points are factual. You resort to insulting someone you can never stand before.
    Why not read and understand.
    Why are you people so bitter, it's becoming sickening and irritating.

      This is the same regime that said corruption was the order of day under GEJ.
      Is dis an admission that the institution have become more corrupt under PMB? Hence the over 200% increase.

    @ Bonarios, thank you bros,I truly tire for these blog idiots. Instead of adding their voices so we can rid the nation of corrupt officials, the they want to remain in a country that nothing can work because of corruption and they will continue to derive joy in cursing and abusing and complaining. The minister is just pointing out some of the hindrances faced.

    This country will never get better if we have this type of people still parading themselves at the highest level of our affairs. They are quick to blame everything except themselves. They can't take blame and they can't deal with correction. They rather look the other way and find one excuse or the other in as much as it has nothing to do with them.
    @Bonario, i have said it here and will repeat it that your reasoning this days needs to be checked. why is it that the way these people are running this government is okay with you. You will defend their policies even when it is bad. You are like a woman who left her husband for a new lover and whenever she sees her ex, she acts as if she's okay even when the new lover is maltreating her. May God run your life the way this people are running the country economy.

    Moronic talk...total baloney. When incompetence is talking, it just makes no sense to the mind. Even my old grand mother and her market women friends won't say this. Our leaders are incompetent and are turning the country into a joke.

    And by the way, you mean corruption still exists today in Buhari's administration too?
