The minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed has blamed the scarcity of tomatoes and its high prices to the bokoharam insurgency
.
While speaking on channels TV, he said ''people talk about the price of tomatoes but they forget that the price of tomato today is a direct result of the fact that we have lost two years harvest to Bokoharam insurgency. Most of the people you see riding okada in Lagos are people who would have been in farm to produce consumable items. Do you farm where there is war?''
He further blamed the incidence as a result of very poor rainfall last year. ''Go and ask agriculturist and economist, they will tell you'' he says
