President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday in Abuja said that
the falling price of crude oil did not take his administration by surprise.
Jonathan stated this while launching the Youth Employment in
Agriculture Programme (YEAP) and the Fund for Agricultural Finance in Nigeria
(FAFIN) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said that government foresaw the crisis hence the launch
of the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) three years ago designed to
diversify the country's revenue base.
