Government Vows Action on High Food Prices Amidst Insecurity
Aliyu Abdullahi, the Minister of State for Agriculture, reassured Nigerians that the Federal Government is actively addressing the soaring cost of food in the country. Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Abdullahi acknowledged the alarming 40.1% food inflation rate reported by the National Bureau of Statistics in March 2024, which has made essential commodities unaffordable for many.
He admitted to ongoing food insecurity but emphasized government efforts to mitigate the situation through various programs and interventions. Abdullahi highlighted agricultural activities in the current rainy season, noting that these efforts will yield results in food production in about three months. He stressed the need for enhanced dry-season farming to bolster national food security, acknowledging past neglect in this area.
