Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, has said that he will go into farming once he leaves office.
Adesina made the revelation via his Facebook handle, when he welcomed the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (Edo State Chapter) in his office.
“When I finish in government, by the mercies of God, I intend to return to active media work and also be a farmer. May God make it happen. Amen.
“It was then a big surprise to me when I got notification from the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (Edo State Chapter), saying they were coming to make me a patron of the group. I asked myself: ‘how did they know I was planning to go into farming? They must have seen tomorrow,’” he said in the post.
Recall that Adesina commenced his career at the Vanguard Newspapers as a features writer before joining the defunct National Concord Newspapers.
He’s a pioneer staff member of The Sun Newspaper where he was later made the editor, and later the managing director and editor-in-chief.
He quitted journalism in 2015 when he got appointed as the spokesperson of the president.
