The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), Tuesday said that over 31.8 million Nigerians were suffering from acute food insecurity, worsened by malnutrition among women and children across the country.

The organisation disclosed this in its 2024 Cadre Harmonise report, published in collaboration with other development partners including GIZ.

The report pointed out that the surge in food commodity prices occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy, as well as security challenges, had further placed millions of Nigerians in a precarious situation.

During their joint review meeting on the Implementation of the Food Systems in Nigeria, the stakeholders advocated a multi-sectoral approach of collaboration to tackle food insecurity.

They stressed that the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and the private sector must play a role to complement nutrition efforts.

The partners further pledged their unalloyed support to transform the food system in Nigeria.

While earlier declaring the meeting open, Dr. Emeka Obi, permanent secretary, Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, said the objective of the meeting was to discuss the status of the implementation and for the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to make presentations in addition to giving updates on the activities implemented for the food transformation pathways, in Nigeria.

In a statement by the Director, Julie Osagie-Jacobs, press and public relations in the Ministry, the permanent secretary, appreciated the support of development partners, particularly GIZ and others for their dedication in moving the food system forward in Nigeria while noting that their collective efforts would continually lead to innovative solutions that would strengthen the food systems.

Also, Dr. Sanjo Faniran, the national convenor of Food Systems in Nigeria/Director, Social Development, Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, hailed all stakeholders for their dedication in moving the food system forward.

He added that the review meeting was also to identify gaps, successes and challenges, offer recommendations as well as peer review, among MDAs. A total of 24 MDAs attended the review meeting. (Thisdaylive.com)
