• Nigeria’s federal government has blamed the country’s low income on food insecurity, malnutrition, and climate change.

• This revelation was made in Abuja at an ongoing workshop on the creation of an implementation strategy for the Nigeria Food Systems Transformation Pathways.

• This claim is consistent with the National Bureau of Statistics' most recent report, which found that an increase in the cost of bread, cereal, rent, potatoes, yams, tubers, vegetables, and meat caused inflation to rise in February.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has identified food insecurity, malnutrition, and climate change as the main causes of the country's declining incomes and rising food prices.
