Vice President Kashim Shettima has restated the unwavering commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to addressing the core challenge of food security in Nigeria, especially the menace of malnutrition.

The Vice President said strengthened collaboration with global bodies and other key stakeholders would greatly support the efforts of federal and state authorities.

Senator Shettima stated this on Monday when he received a delegation from the World Food Programme (WFP), led by its Executive Director, Mrs Cindy McCain, on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa.

“The president has committed to addressing the core challenge of food security. He has declared a commitment towards tackling food insecurity, and there is a need for further collaboration between the WFP and the government of Nigeria on strengthening food systems and improving nutrition in the country,” the VP stated in a statement by his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha.

The Vice President said introducing the school feeding programme to tackle malnutrition among children was in line with the president’s vision for food security in Nigeria.

He sought further collaboration between the Ministry of Agriculture and the WFP, especially in strengthening our food systems and fighting malnutrition.

Recalling the WFP’s support for Borno state when he was governor, the VP noted: “Right from my days as a governor in Borno, we have had a very close working relationship with the WFP. They were there for us in our times of need, stood by us, and solidarity with us without playing to the gallery.

“I thank you, most sincerely, for all of your efforts, and I want to request more. The governor of Borno is a very committed and upright gentleman. He is fully committed to the welfare of the people, but he needs more support. But the challenge in Borno, as it is elsewhere across the country, is humongous,” he added.

In her remarks, Mrs McCain said she was in the country with her team to explore areas of further collaboration between Nigeria and the World Food Programme to address the challenges faced by the people.

She said the WFP is thrilled about the government’s initiatives to address the challenges of food security and malnutrition, noting that “the unique potential to explore Africa-led solutions to the challenges is exciting and commendable.”

She pledged the organisation’s continued support and partnership with authorities at different levels in Nigeria to help alleviate the people’s sufferings, especially in the areas affected by conflict.
