Nigeria, alongside other African nations and the United Nations, has called for renewed collective action and shared commitment to tackling food insecurity across the continent and beyond.
Leaders emphasized the urgent need for predictable, concessional financing to support agricultural development, rural transformation, infrastructure, and education. They also stressed that climate finance must align more closely with food system reforms.
Speaking at the ongoing UN Food Systems Summit in Addis Ababa, Nigeria’s Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, highlighted the country’s efforts to modernize agriculture. He noted that Nigeria is leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), geospatial analytics, and satellite-driven climate intelligence to scale food production and end hunger.
