Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari, has called on Nigerian farmers to prioritize their agricultural activities amidst ongoing protests in Abuja. He stressed the importance of bolstering food security as food prices begin to decline, urging farmers, particularly the youth, to concentrate on farming instead of joining protests.
Kyari highlighted the federal government’s efforts under President Tinubu to address the challenges posed by rising food prices through various policies and programs aimed at boosting food production. He noted that these initiatives are already showing positive results, with a nationwide decrease in food prices.
The minister warned that continued protests could disrupt food production and the supply of perishable goods, leading to financial losses for farmers and further exacerbating food security issues.
