Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Ibrahim Gambari, has said that, hike in prices of food items should be seen as a transient situation.
Mr. Gambari said this on during the national food security council meeting, held at the State House, Abuja.
According to him, the recent prices of grains show a significant decline which suggests that the decrease would soon be reflected across the country as new products are brought into the market.
The Chief of Staff further stated that, it is time that the nation pivots its attention and resources to how it can improve yield per hectare, even as key actors in the agric space are championing increased hectares under cultivation.
Mr. Gambari, added that this new shift will be a significant boost in the government’s determination to strengthen its objective in achieving food security.
