During President Buhari’s regime, trillions of naira were spent on numerous agricultural and livelihood projects to cushion the effect of poverty and improve food security while driving the country to food sufficiency. These efforts were supported by policies across the value chain to stimulate agro-processing, value addition, local sourcing, and local consumption. When the current administration announced the withdrawal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the naira, ordinarily one would have thought that the much-spent valuable resources by the previous government would come as a shark absorber whilst we adjust to the new reality of the economy. However, this was not the case. Programs like the anchor borrower’s program, the poverty alleviation program, and other funding windows that were to boost production came short, revealing poor implementation, unsustainability, fraud, mismanagement, and other issues. Nigeria has never lacked brilliant projects with sweet names to solve its problems, but the data shows that these projects have not yielded the desired result. Every new government comes with its projects and new benefactors but once the government tenure ends, the projected impact ends with it. While this government is putting up numerous measures, projects, and policies to weather the storm, it must learn from the previous government, what has worked and what has not worked.
