Twenty-eight million nine hundred thousand people living in Nigeria and other West and Central African countries depend on emergency food assistance for survival, according to the World Bank.
According to the global bank, the global support provided to agriculture and food exceeds $700bn per year, but only 35 cents of each dollar and support trickle to farmers.
It said, “Continued conflict, climate change, inflation and rising food prices are key drivers of this alarming trend. Food access has been affected by persistent violence in the northeast states of Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe and armed banditry and kidnapping in states such as Katsina, Sokoto, Kaduna, Benue, and Niger.
