Shettima Highlights Nigeria’s Food Security Strategy at World Economic Forum in Davos
Vice President Kashim Shettima has reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to addressing food security as a core national priority, describing it as a critical macroeconomic, security, and governance issue rather than a narrow agricultural concern.
Shettima made this known while participating in a high-level panel titled “When Food Becomes Security” at the ongoing 56th World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
In his submission, the Vice President explained that the Federal Government has adopted a comprehensive and multi-dimensional approach to agriculture, aimed at safeguarding the country against global economic shocks and rebuilding the productivity of Nigeria’s key food basket regions.
According to him, the strategy is designed to strengthen resilience across the food system, enhance national stability, and ensure sustainable food production in the face of climate change, global supply disruptions, and security challenges.
Shettima emphasized that repositioning food security within the broader framework of economic and national security is central to the administration’s efforts to promote inclusive growth and long-term stability for Nigeria.
