Speaking to State House Correspondents after the meeting, Alia emphasised the need for the Federal Government to prioritise agricultural development in order to achieve food security in Nigeria.
He expressed the importance of the Vice President’s support for Benue State, which is considered the food basket of the nation.
He highlighted the need for increased food production both in Benue State and across the country, recognising that Shettima’s agricultural background can contribute significantly to this endeavor.

Newly appointed National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has promised to lead the ruling party with integrity, transparency and deep sense of responsibility.
In his acceptance speech during the APC 12th National Executive Committee (NEC) held in Abuja on Thursday, the former governor of Kano state also faulted the party’s 40 million membership register.
He lamented that despite the acclaimed bogus figure it could not translate into corresponding tangible result during the 2023 presidential election where the party got only eight million votes.
He promised to conduct a more credible scientifically-proven membership register from the wards to the state levels. He warned that going forward, he will uphold internal democracy, and provide a level playing ground for aspirants to elective positions during party primaries.
We will deploy technology in the registration of our members. The idea where the current figure of the membership of the party is over 40 million but could not reflect on the result of the last election, where we got only eight million votes, means that it can no longer be business as usual.
