The State Chairperson, SWOFON, Mrs Airudia Mamman, said the looming food crisis could be averted through clear-cut policies in agriculture.
She said with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the smallholder women farmers producing over 60 per cent of the food consumed in the state had faced hard times caused by partial lockdown. She said “the current situation of looming food crisis in the state and in Nigeria” was occasioned by the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic, which she said had nearly crippled all sectors of the economy.
“There should be adequate provision for credits and loans for especially smallholder women farmers and youth; this will greatly enhance their output, food sufficiency, security and employment.”
