NEWS depicting the reality of poverty in Nigeria is coming in cascades. An alert by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation that 9.8 million people in 16 states and the Federal Capital Territory suffer from hunger and malnutrition was followed by a spike in inflation and a slide into recession, the worst in 33 years.
Neglect of agriculture and failure to reform the security system have caught up with the country. In the North-East, an 11-year-old terrorist insurgency has displaced millions and disrupted farming, including in the fertile Lake Chad basin. In the North-West, bandits and kidnappers levy protection charges on farmers where they allow production at all; they have rendered the highways and villages unsafe. In the North-Central and the South, kidnappers and Fulani militants are also active.
not have been so dire. The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a US think tank, recalls that Nigeria’s oil and gas “resource curse” saw the long, steady decline of and underinvestment in agriculture that was once the primary source of revenue and foreign exchange earnings. “Today, despite its vast agricultural potential, the country is a net food importer of food, with the vast majority of people engaged in agriculture operating at subsistence level,” it added.
A holistic programme to tame insecurity, get farmers back to the farms, make the highways safe, emergency and long-term intervention to direct cheap credit, provide storage and preservation facilities as well as farming inputs and machinery, should be undertaken. All levels of government should roll out agricultural extension services, research, pest and disease control, and rural infrastructure such as roads and irrigation systems.
