ActionAid urges FG to support agriculture
ActionAid Nigeria,
an anti-poverty NGO, on Wednesday, in Abuja, urged the government to
provide more support to smallholder farmers, to avoid food scarcity in
the country.
Tunde Aremu, the
organisation’s policy, advocacy, and campaigns coordinator, made the
call while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
“Announcement of a
surge in global food prices has huge implications for the world’s
poorest who are already struggling to get enough to eat. ActionAid is
calling on governments to take urgent measures to boost harvests and
protect the most vulnerable against the looming possibility of another
global food crisis,” Mr. Aremu said.
