The FG has vowed to sustain the border closure policy until
the neighbouring countries stop violating Nigeria’s laws against food
smuggling, even as the Minister of Agriculture, Alhaji Sabo Nanono,
debunked reports that hunger was heightening in the country.
.
.
The
minister said that there is no hunger in the country and food security
has been achieved. He said that hunger in Nigeria was a creation of
foreigners who have no stake in the country.
.
.
He said: “I
think so long as these bordering countries do not respect our protocols
on these very important issues of bringing food into Nigeria, border
closure will remain.
.
.
I think we are producing enough food
to feed ourselves. There is no hunger in the country and when people
talk about hunger, I just laugh because they do not know hunger. They
need to go to other countries to know what hunger is all about.”
