📰 Food Security Emergency:
Nigeria TV Info confirms an AP News report that the country is facing a widespread food crisis — especially in the northwest (e.g., Sokoto State), where rivers are drying up, making irrigation nearly impossible for agriculture.

📊 Key Consequences:

Over 31 million people are affected by food shortages.

Inflation and rising gas prices continue to drive up food costs in cities like Lagos.

In 2023, the government declared a food security emergency and planned to cultivate half a million hectares — but implementation remains delayed.

📌 Why It Matters:
Declining crop yields and rising food prices directly impact public welfare and threaten Nigeria’s economic and social stability.
