Nigeria among top 20 most hungry countries – Peter Obi

The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate in the last
general election, Peter Obi, has said that Nigeria is currently among the top
20 most hungry countries in the world.

Obi said this follows Nigeria’s position as 109 out of 125
countries in the global hunger index.

He made this known in Kebbi State while on private Ramadan
visit, where he was received at the Government House by Secretary to the State
Government, Yakubu Bala Tafida.

The former Anambra State governor insisted that Nigeria is
poor and hungry because the Federal Government refused to holistically invest
in agriculture.

According to him, such investments should be directed to the
North that possesses vast arable land for peasant and mechanised farming.
