Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election, has stated that the food scarcity in Nigeria is surmountable.
In a statement on his Verified X page on Tuesday, Obi called for optimum utilisation of the arable lands in the North so Nigeria will be sufficient in food production.
The Labour Party chieftain noted that local food production will be enhanced if the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government in Nigeria is food-sufficient.
His statement reads, “The vast arable lands in the North, if put into productive use, will not only give us sufficient food for local consumption but even the surplus for export. A New Nigeria is Possible.”
