 Atiku Apologizes to Nigerian Teachers, Citing 'Failed Leadership' Amid Economic Hardship Abuja, Nigeria - Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has issued a heartfelt apology to Nigerian teachers, attributing their current economic plight to what he described as the 'failed leadership' of the nation. In a statement released on Monday by his spokesperson, Abubakar expressed deep concern over the escalating cost of living, which he stated is severely hindering teachers' ability to provide for their families and effectively carry out their crucial educational duties. Abubakar, a staunch advocate for education, took a moment to laud the immense sacrifices made by Nigerian educators. Reflecting on his own formative years, he shared a personal connection to the teaching profession. "Of course, I appreciate Nigerian teachers.

 Nigeria committed to become global cocoa processor, says FG


Vice President Kashim Shettima has affirmed Nigeria’s commitment to reviving its cocoa industry and the broader agricultural value chain to become a major global processor rather than just a producer of cocoa. He stated this during a meeting with the President of the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF), Chris Vincent, in Abuja.


Shettima mentioned the recent approval for the establishment of a National Cocoa Management Board as evidence of the government’s dedication. The WCF aims to partner with Nigeria to revitalise Nigeria’s cocoa sector in line with the European Union’s sustainability regulations. He also emphasised Nigeria’s available manpower and the eagerness of its young population to participate in the agricultural sector.


“We don’t want to be producers of cocoa; we want to be processors of cocoa because a tonne of cocoa will fetch you $9,000 now, but processed cocoa will get you $30,000. If you turn them into chocolate bars, that might fetch you $50,000. “So, we have the manpower, the average age of the nation is 17. We have very virile young men who are willing to work if they have the opportunity. So, I’m speaking from the heart,” he maintained.


The Vice President pledged Nigeria’s readiness to work with the World Cocoa Foundation. He said he would personally engage Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State to secure the 10,000 hectares in the Kurmi Local Government Area of the state for the WCF and other partners to expand their investments in the nation’s cocoa industry. Underscoring the Nigerian leadership’s commitment to be actively involved in the process, he said, “I want to walk the talk. It is not even about the profit criteria; no. It’s about the social welfare criteria — employing people.


“Look, let me take you to my farm and you’ll be convinced that the new Nigerian leadership is actively involved and is itching to drive the process.”
