FAO Report Warns: 133 Million Nigerians could Face Severe Hunger Crisis by 2025
A recent Cadre Harmonisé report, supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), has projected a looming hunger crisis in Nigeria, estimating that 133.1 million people could face severe food insecurity by the 2025 lean season.
The report, prepared with the federal government and partners like the World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF, highlights an alarming increase of seven million people at risk compared to last year.
The surge in food insecurity is attributed to economic hardships, record-high inflation, climate change, and ongoing violence, particularly in northeastern and northwestern states.
The number of people at emergency food insecurity levels (Phase 4) is expected to nearly double from one million in 2024 to 1.8 million in 2025.
Additionally, about 5.4 million children and 800,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women are at risk of acute malnutrition, with 1.8 million children possibly facing severe acute malnutrition and needing urgent care.
The report underscores Nigeria’s struggle with high inflation, especially in food prices, as a critical driver of this crisis.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
