Nigeria’s food security crisis is deepening as rising poverty, climate-related shocks, insecurity, and pressures on agricultural production continue to affect households and communities across the country.
On 7 September 2026, Kechiro Ambro-Moye, Research Analyst at Kingsgate Advisors Institute, joined News Central for a discussion on Nigeria’s food security challenges and the growing focus on climate-smart solutions.
