Food security is a vital part of national security, and where this issue is not resolved, the resultant crisis may unsettle the nation and her immediate neighbours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow is the time to proffer solutions, so that our countrymen and women do not starve in a land with so much prospective abundance. So, how do we avoid this looming crisis?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe major cause of the present and looming dearth of food is insecurity. Farmers and other agricultural value chain workers cannot go to their farms due to the crisis of insecurity. I should know. I am heavily invested in large scale farming and employ a workforce of over 10,000 in the endeavour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat ought to happen is that the federal and state governments should establish a Food Security Military Taskforce to work in farming clusters, to provide security for the nation\u2019s farmers. We must give confidence to our agriculture workers so that the sector can get on with the job of feeding the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Atiku asked the federal and state governments to place a moratorium on all agricultural loans repayment in the affected areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot expect small, medium and large scale farmers to service debts when they are not even able to access their farms and other businesses in the agricultural value chain,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThirdly, the federal government has to intervene by providing free seedlings and fertilisers to the end-users. This is a policy that worked to reduce hunger levels in Nigeria when Dr\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Akinwumi_Adesina\">Akinwumi Adesina<\/a>\u00a0introduced the e-wallet policy. Perhaps it is time to reintroduce and ramp up that scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we cannot feed ourselves as a nation, we do not survive. This is the textbook definition of an emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Atiku said politics should be set aside to address this \u201cvital area of our national life and address this crisis before it becomes a calamity\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former vice-president, Atiku Abubakar has called on the federal government to set up a &#8220;food security military taskforce&#8221; to provide security for the nation&#8217;s farmers.
