An alarming number of Nigerians — approximately 25.3 million — are in danger of acute food insecurity during the next few months, according to a recent report from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization.
This represents a rise from the 17 million that are currently estimated to be at risk of food insecurity. The report identifies violent conflict, climate change, inflation and rising food prices as the key drivers exacerbating the country’s food security situation.
