To address the worsening food crisis in northeastern Nigeria, the United Nations has announced the allocation of US$11 million to the country.
UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffith, who announced this on the microblogging site X on Wednesday, said the allocation came from the UN’s Central Emergency Response Funds (UNCERF).
According to Mr Griffith, acute malnutrition in the country is increasing rapidly, while food insecurity is at its worst level in the past seven years.
He said: “Acute malnutrition is increasing rapidly in north-east Nigeria and food insecurity has reached its highest level in seven years.
“To immediately support the most vulnerable, I have allocated $11 million from UNCERF.”
UNCERF is a UN program that allows the international organization to provide immediate financing to those affected by natural disasters, wars and other emergencies.
According to Mr Griffiths, the food crisis in the north-east of the country is a challenge that requires urgent attention.

FAO projection
Nigeria’s food security problem was predicted to worsen due to insecurity and violent crisis plaguing parts of the country.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has predicted that more than 31.5 million people in Nigeria would face acute food insecurity between June and August 2024.
According to FAO data, food insecurity was expected to increase, affecting a larger share of the population than predicted the year before.
The data showed that the population of affected persons would increase from 26.5 million to more than 31.5 million persons.
The World Food Agency also said in its Cadre Harmonize Report that Nigeria was grappling with multiple security challenges that had affected food production and access.
According to the report, other factors will also contribute to the alarming food insecurity, including conflicts in the Northeast, North Central and Northwest, fuel scarcity, devaluation of the naira, currency crisis, rising inflation and consumer price index.
Basic products are falling
Farmers across the country have begun reporting a decline in production of certain staple foods, citing several causes, including flooding due to climate change.
Data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Statista projected a slight decline in rice production in Nigeria from 5.355 million tons to about 5.229 million tons between the 2023 and 2024 marketing years.

For crops such as corn, production is expected to decline by 8 percent, from 12.75 million tons in 2021 to 11 million tons this year.
Guinea corn (sorghum) production was expected to decline from about 6.742 million tons to 6.7 billion tons.
Analysts say regional instability, which has displaced about 3.3 million people, climate change and inflation are the main causes of food insecurity in Nigeria.
However, the situation worsened when the government stopped providing subsidies for gasoline, increasing the cost of food, transportation and energy.
