The National Emergency Management Agency says the flood in some parts of the country has threatened food security in the country.

The Director General of National Emergency Management Agency, Air Vice-Marshal Muhammadu Muhammed, said this on Wednesday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, during an advocacy visit to the state

NEMA DG said, It is a great loss to the country. I was in Kebbi about two weeks back; farms were submerged. That means the bulk of rice expected to boost the national food security is gone.” In the same vein NEMA on Wednesday bemoaned the ill effect of flooding on the farming potential of Ekiti State.
