Minister Hails Tinubu's Food Security Interventions, Prices Drop

Nigerian Agriculture Minister Senator Abubakar Kyari has praised President Bola Tinubu's emergency food security interventions, stating that they have led to a significant drop in food prices. Kyari highlighted the success of the measures in addressing structural imbalances in the country's agriculture sector.

Tinubu declared a state of emergency in food security in July 2023, aiming to rescue the sector from challenges inherited during his tenure. The government's strategy involves a combination of production support and temporary importation to balance supply and demand in the food market.

The minister emphasized the importance of entrepreneurial efforts in ensuring food security and boosting production.
