Tinubu Order 100,000 Metric Tons of Grains Released to Combat Food Crisis

In a decisive move to address the escalating food crisis and skyrocketing commodity prices, President Bola Tinubu has issued an immediate directive to release over 102,000 metric tons of various grain types from the National Food Reserve and the Rice Millers Association of Nigeria.

This critical action comes in response to the growing concerns of the nation’s food security and aims to provide relief to the affected communities.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, announced the decision during a press briefing, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.

The release of grains from the National Food Reserve will help stabilize the market and ensure that essential food items are available to the public.

At the same time, the involvement of the Rice Millers Association of Nigeria underscores the government’s commitment to collaborating with key stakeholders in the agricultural sector to mitigate the crisis.

President Tinubu’s swift action is a clear indication of his administration’s dedication to addressing the pressing issues faced by the nation, particularly in the realm of food security.

By tapping into the National Food Reserve and working with the Rice Millers Association, the government is taking a comprehensive approach to tackle the crisis and provide much-needed relief to the citizens of Nigeria.

As the grains are released and distributed to the affected areas, it is expected that the market will stabilize, and the pressure on the food supply chain will be reduced.

This timely intervention by President Tinubu is a crucial step in ensuring that the nation’s food security remains a top priority, and it is hoped that it will pave the way for further collaborative efforts to address the challenges faced by the agricultural sector in Nigeria.
