Stampedes: Ndukuba calls for more action towards ensuring food security
Politics
THE Primate Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, Most Rev’d Henry Ndukuba, has called for more attention towards ensuring food security in the country.
Ndunuba gave the advice at a press conference on Monday in Abuja
While speaking on the recent stampedes experienced during the distribution of palliatives in Abuja, Ibadan and Okija in Anambra, Ndukuba commiserateed with with families of the victims.
He said that the tragic incidents called for more urgent attention to address poverty and hunger in the country.
He urged Nigerian leaders to be serious with the challenges confronting the country, and for the political class to sacrifice for the nation, adding that the situation in Nigeria demanded sacrifice.
He said that the present administration was putting in place measures to address the present challenges, urging Nigerians to expect transformation soon.
Ndukuba said that effort by the government to achieve a better Nigeria would take a little time, calling on all citizens to exercise some patience.
“The issue of food security must be taken seriously.
“Tackling the problem of insecurity is also an urgent matter because, if you look at what we are suffering now, many farmers can not go to the farm because they do not feel safe.
“If farmers don’t go to the farm and bring out food, there will be nothing for us to eat. The little that is provided will result to a scramble by many to get a share, and that speaks to the foundational issues of this nation,” he said
The Anglican Primate also emphasised the need for Nigerians to embrace patriotism and love for one another.
He urged the National Orientation Agency (NOA) to embark on the sensitisation of Nigerians on core values and patriotism.(NAN)
