FAO reports that the food security analysis was conducted in 26 states and the FCT to ascertain the food security situation and make projections for the future.
The Food and Agriculture Organisation says at least 26.5 million Nigerians in Borno, Sokoto and Zamfara states as well as the the FCT, Abuja, may face food crisis between June and August 2024.
He listed other challenges as natural resource-based conflicts, high cost of food and agricultural inputs due to high inflation and severe dry spells in some states immediately after the onset of rains. He said though the challenges were daunting, they were surmountable, adding that several factors seemed to be negating the ministry’s efforts.
He said that environmental and human factors such as climate change, displacements due to insecurity and seasonal flooding regime had all remained recurrent concerns.
