The WFP said it is assisting some 2.1 million vulnerable people in Nigeria in 2023
World Food Programme says over 25 million Nigerians may face acute hunger at the peak of the lean season this year.
The lean season is the period between planting and harvesting when job opportunities are scarce, and incomes plummet. Despite this, the official said the WFP is assisting some 2.1 million vulnerable people in Nigeria in 2023 – through food assistance and nutrition support, cash payments and livelihood projects to help build back the resilience of the people affected by conflict.
