Nigeria's Food Production Not Affected By Insecurity

The Minister of Agriculture, Mohammed Abubakar, says in spite of the protracted security challenge in the country, food production has not dropped. <br />Abubakar acknowledged that the insurgency, inhibiting farmers from accessing their farms, particularly in the North-West, North-East, and North-Central, is a concern for the Federal Government. <br />He, however, maintained that food production continues at an appreciable level for most parts of the country. <br />The minister further revealed that 3.6 million direct and indirect jobs have been created through $1.1 billion in externally-funded agriculture projects and are being implemented by the present administration.
