Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Budget, and Planning Zainab Ahmed says she believes that Nigeria has achieved progress in attaining self-sufficiency in food security., a programmed aired on Thursday on Channels Television.
She said the nation would have been faced with serious problems during the lockdown prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic if the nation was not self-sufficient in food sufficiency. “We are doing everything that we can to make sure that our country is self-sufficient, especially in the area of food security.
“I must say that we have achieved some progress in that regard because if we didn’t have self-sufficiency in food security when there was the lockdown and there was no movement in and out of the country, we would have very significant problems.Ahmed also highlighted that the COVID-19, although an unfortunate reality presented some opportunities to Nigeria economy
“One of those opportunities was the removal of fuel price which was quickly followed by the relaxation of the control of electricity tariff,” she said noting that the Federal Government is working to ensure that the reforms that were put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic are sustained.
You're very right madam. After all rice is almost 30k per bag from 9k.
Rubbish
Social media government, all your speculations, no one is a fact. With the price of food stuff skyrocketing, and you are talking about food security, I won't blame, you are just doing your job, defending the incapable government of MBuhari
Can't this people be quiet for once. Why must you talk about subject you know little or nothing about. 'Food security is a measure of the availability of food and individuals' ability to access it. Affordability is only one factor.' Wikipedia Food security my foot
Madam Minister, it seems your Nigeria is different from our own
Really? When you are not an average Nigerian there is no way you will understand what people are going through.
Do these people live in Nigeria?
Hahahah
Its soo annoying sometimes when you hear these people in government speak to the public, it will not be of surprise anyway, because most of them do not even attend school or have possession of any valid certificate why wouldn`t they be saying rubbish.
Are you talking about the Nigeria in West Africa or another one somewhere else? You are confusing me madam minister.

We have achieved food security and a bag of rice is selling for more than the minimum wage. People are feeding from the dust bin, there is indeed hunger in the land, hopelessness everywhere! Where is the food security? Where's the rice revolution? 8500 2015 to 33000 2020?
