“Even at household level, you hand over the money to women to manage. It can be taken to the level of managing the country’s treasury as well. I have consistently given it to women. It is strategic. President Buhari said the traditional and subsistence style of farming should be replaced with commercialized and business-oriented techniques.“We have to move away from the traditional ways of farming that were practised in the pre-colonial and colonial era,’’ he added.
