Jimoh, expressing concern over the prevailing hardship in the country, emphasized the critical need for urgent measures to address the growing food insecurity.

Jimoh called upon the administration, particularly President Bola Tinubu, to prioritize efforts aimed at tackling hunger and ensuring food sufficiency across Nigeria.

“Dear Nigerian government, it’s time to declare a state of emergency on food production. The only time there should be famine in the land is if there is a war or there are no arable lands. There is no reason why food should be scarce in Nigeria,” wrote Jimoh.

His impassioned plea resonates with the growing concerns among citizens regarding the deteriorating state of food security in the nation. With rising inflation and other economic challenges exacerbating the situation, the call for urgent intervention in food production has gained momentum.

As Jimoh’s message reverberates across social media platforms, it serves as a poignant reminder of the pressing need for proactive measures to address food scarcity and alleviate the suffering of millions of Nigerians facing hunger. The actor’s advocacy underscores the collective responsibility of government and stakeholders to prioritize food production and ensure access to nutritious food for all citizens.
