The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) projects that approximately 33.1 million people in Nigeria will face acute food insecurity by mid-2025, a significant increase from the current estimate of 25 million in crisis. The analysis highlights that the North-East and Central regions are the most affected, with over 514,000 internally displaced persons among those at risk. Key drivers of this crisis include economic hardship, soaring food prices, inflation, and the impacts of flooding and insecurity, particularly in Northern states. In Borno State, alarming malnutrition rates have been reported, with Maiduguri being the most affected. The Nigerian government has initiated cash assistance to vulnerable households, but the need for comprehensive interventions is critical to prevent further deterioration of food security. As Nigeria grapples with these challenges, urgent action is necessary to ensure food availability and access for all citizens.
