Maye of yorubaland, Atobatele Dr Ramon Adedoyin,Mr femi Otedola and aliko dangote support food security for Nigerians

Food security; the availability and accessibility of sufficient, safe and nutritious food will not be a reality for Nigerians until we harness the full potential of our agricultural value chain.

Over 50% of our perishable food items spoil in transit from farm to market as a result of poor storage and transportation facilities and techniques. Millions of Nigerian families can barely afford to eat and outdated farming techniques result in dropping farm yields year after year. The situation is worrisome.

What we need, is a concerted effort on a national scale, focused on using better farming techniques, sustainable agriculture, food storage and transportation methods, investment in agricultural research and increased agro-processing.

This will result in significant reductions in the cost of food as well as increased export opportunities to boost our economy.

At this pandemic period we must encourage our farmers and food chain sellers for better food circulation.
