Vice President Kashim Shettima has declared that Nigeria now regards food security not merely as an agricultural concern but as a core governance, economic, and national security issue.
Speaking at a food security panel at the ongoing World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Shettima said the Federal Government has adopted a holistic, multi-dimensional approach to food security, positioning it as a strategic pillar for economic stability, effective governance, and regional cohesion.
He noted that the Tinubu administration has commenced wide-ranging agricultural reforms aimed at protecting the country from global supply shocks while revitalising productivity across key food-producing regions.
The Vice President expressed optimism that the Renewed Hope Agenda would accelerate climate adaptation from pilot projects to full-scale implementation and significantly boost intra-African trade beyond current levels.
