Food security in Nigeria

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa; a residence for more than 206 million people. Hunger is one of the major issues that affect the citizens. 40% (82 million people) of the citizens live below the International Poverty Line of $1.90 daily, whilst another 25% are vulnerable. Nigeria was ranked second poorest in food affordability globally by the Institute of Development Studies, United Kingdom.

In July 2025 The United Nations reported that nearly 31 million Nigerians were experiencing acute food insecurity.

This is due to a number of factors, including climate change, environmental degradation like deforestation conflict, and poverty.
