In a significant move to bolster food security and agricultural productivity, the Federal Government of Nigeria has initiated a strategic partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP). This collaboration aims to harness global expertise and resources to transform Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
The Honourable Minister of Finance, Mr. Wale Edun, welcomed a high-level WFP delegation led by Regional Director, Mr. Chris Nikoi, to discuss the partnership. The meeting was a crucial step in actualizing the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, which prioritizes food security and agricultural development.
The partnership seeks to leverage WFP’s extensive experience in food security and agricultural development to enhance Nigeria’s agricultural productivity, improve food availability, and promote sustainable farming practices. By combining resources and expertise, Nigeria and WFP aim to create a robust agricultural sector that benefits the nation and its people.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s efforts to ensure food security and drive economic growth through agriculture. As the country strives to become a global leader in agricultural production, this partnership with WFP will play a vital role in achieving that vision.
