Nigerians should not be afraid of any form of food crisis, the Federal Government said on Monday, as it kicked against the projections of the International Monetary Fund.

It stated that several measures had been put in place to forestall the scarcity of food in Nigeria, stressing that there was no need for panic among citizens across the country.quoted the International Monetary Fund as saying Nigerians should brace up for higher food prices/risks in 2023 due to recent floods and high fertiliser prices.

But the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development opposed the position of the global financial institution, as it provided a document detailing what the FMARD had done and was doing to avert such a crisis. “People shouldn’t be afraid of any food crisis. The minister has explained this and so people should not express fear about their projections,” the Director, Information, FMARD, Joel Oruche, told our correspondent.

In the document on the Long/Short Term Measures to Ameliorate the Disruptions of Food Production and Supply in Nigeria, the ministry said it was implementing various interventions to mitigate the anticipated disruptions occasioned by the recent floods. The FMARD said it had distributed “assorted food commodities from the Federal Government strategic food reserve to the vulnerable and flood victims through the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.”

Ostrich!!

The one we are facing now, what will you call that.

This one we are facing is what?

Hmm

After the one we are facing already

😂😂😂😂

Do they ever go to the farm or to the market? Do they have any idea how expensive commodities are out there? Bunch of idlers.

Na money to buy the food crisis we go face 😂😂😂

Same ppl you borrow from..... Well let's say ur comments re prophetic

Always defensive instead of coming up with a contingency plan 🤡😂

So long as the population is being depleted on daily basis and in hundreds through systematic killings... food crisis is untenable.

Na so una da drag everything. We’re experiencing food crisis already..

Though you lifted 100m people out of poverty? Now it's 133m. Keep playing the ostrich.

Something we have faced already.

Na for mouth

Do farmers survey in the south in the last 2years and check reasons for attrition or increase which will be directly proportional to production output. You can corroborate this claim with results. I lost mine.

We are already facing food crisis

U are denying what we are already be facing, mad people everywhere in govt.

Are we not facing it already?....... Very useless people
