Insecurity is a major cause of food insecurity in Nigeria 🇳🇬. Government needs to continue to fight insecurity so our farmers can go to farm to plant or harvest. #miconpodcast #COP28 #LondonFoodSecurityConference

Rotimi of @JRFarmsAfrica made one point I’ve been harping on , the price of grains affect others too . If Maize price spikes , it affects wheat , rice and oil seeds and we’ve seen and are witnessing it because of the Russian/Ukraine war #COP28 #LondonFoodSecurityConference
