He said he would make the plant a major export commodity that would contribute to the growth of the country’s economy
Speaking at a function recently,
the SaharaReporters publisher said that his promise should serve as an advance
notice to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to stop its
clampdown on citizens growing the popular weed.
His words: “We have to start
taking care of our weed, Igbo, such that we can also contribute to the GDP of
the world. Some of the best weed in the world are grown in Ekiti State. And
people are making billions out of that particular plant that is very potent in
Nigeria. We should be focusing on it.
“Our NDLEA should get the notice
Memo in advance that Nigeria will be exporting weed to cure cancer in other
part of the world instead of chasing after people who are growing weed, whereas
they are not chasing after politicians who are smoking cocaine in their house.”
