Food and Agriculture Organisation has warned that some 25 million Nigerians risk severe hunger between June and August this year. FAO identified drivers of the unsavoury development to include persistent conflicts, climate change, inflation and rising food prices. It noted that access to food has been affected by unrelenting terrorism in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe , as well as banditry and abductions in Katsina, Sokoto, Kaduna, Benue and Niger states.
Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Nigeria, Matthias Schmale, submitted: “The food security and nutrition situation across Nigeria is deeply concerning. I have visited nutrition stabilisation centres filled with children, who are fighting to stay alive. We must act now to ensure they and others get the life-saving support they need.
