The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) says over 25 million Nigerians may face acute hunger at the peak of the lean season (June-August) this year.
The projection was made known by WFP’s Country Director, David Stevenson, at the unveiling of the humanitarian agency’s new Country Strategic Plan (CSP) for Nigeria in Abuja on Wednesday.
“As food insecurity continues to spike in Nigeria, over 25 million people are projected to face acute hunger at the peak of the June-August 2023 lean season,” Mr Stevenson said in his remarks.
