As Nigerians grapple with food challenges, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari, on Thursday, expressed deep worries over the threat posed by climate change impacts on food production and food security.
Kyari stated this while speaking at the Sahel Food System Change Makers Conference with the theme ‘Rethinking Food and Nutrition Security in the Face of Climate Change: Scaling Innovation and Driving Urgent Public Private Partnership Actions’, held in Abuja.
The Minister who was represented by Sugra Mahmood, called on stakeholders in both public and private sectors to mobilize resources to confront climate change.
He said: “We must unite our efforts, harnessing the strength of both the public and private sector, including the informal sector, by doing so we can mobilize the resources, expertise and innovations necessary to confront climate change head-on, however, we must act urgently.
