You’re absolutely right, Mr. President. Food security is non-negotiable.
A well-fed nation is a prosperous nation, and prioritizing food security is critical for Nigeria’s growth and stability.
Let’s break down why this matters and what we’re doing about it. A thread🧵
Nigeria’s 🇳🇬poverty rate is approaching 76% , food affordability has declined by 38.7% .
An Egg is N200, don’t worry , when it becomes N350 , all you’d do is cry and complain.
Food Security = National Security.
Out of 36 States in Nigeria , 23 score zero on the Food Security index .
South South and South East Nigeria have zero food storage capacity .
No Warehouses , No Silo
@officialABAT We agree!
