Nigeria needs to increase food production to feed itself, experts say (Radio France International)  

May 27, 2020


Radio France International published an article about Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s call to farmers. He said, “We don’t have money to import so we must produce what we have to eat.” Kwaw Andam, director of the Nigeria Strategy Support Program said, in a recent IFPRI report that “food supply was exempted from most restrictions during the height of the lockdown in Nigeria, but it was still indirectly affected by falling consumer incomes and other shocks.” Republished in Yahoo News (UK & Ireland), Yahoo News, Modern Ghana, and other major international outlets.
