According to the minister, reducing the risk of food insecurity in the country will require technological solutions and collaborative efforts across agriculture, food science and technology, nutrition and health programmes.

The minister said this at the commissioning ceremony of the Nigerian Council of Food Science and Technology (NiCFoST) Data Base Management Centre in Abuja.

He further said that as the focal Government Council responsible for regulating the food Science and Technology profession, the Council will usher the country into a new era of professional practice within the food industry and the national food supply system.

Chief Nnaji also said that the regulatory framework of the Council is crucial to reducing unprofessional practices and management along the food value chain and its economic benefits, by ensuring sustainable national food security.

He stated that this is the first time in Sub-Saharan Africa that the Food Science and Technology Profession have a regulatory council.

He emphasised that the Centre represents a collaborative effort between the ministry and NiCFOST, reflecting shared commitment to advancing Food Science and Technology regulation in Nigeria.

Nnaji said Nigerian food is steadily becoming popular overseas and increasingly available at local shops, adding that optimization of the benefits of these export market trends will help in economic diversification of the country.

The minister recalled that he recently signed some certificate of registration for newly registered professionals and therefore called on all Food Science and Technology professionals to take advantage provided by the establishment Act to register with the Council.

Earlier in her welcome address, the registrar of NiCFoST, Veronica Ezeh, said the Database Management Centre commissioned will serve as a centre for storing, organising and maintaining the data created and collated by the council in the course of carrying out its activities in line with the provisions of the Establishment Act.
