The United Nations has raised fresh concerns over Nigeria’s growing food crisis, warning that about 35 million Nigerians could face acute hunger between June and August this year.
According to the UN Humanitarian Country Team, Nigeria is currently battling a worsening hunger emergency, with millions expected to struggle for food as the lean season approaches.
“Nearly one in seven people, that is 35 million people nationwide in Nigeria, are likely to face acute food insecurity during this year’s lean season, which runs from June to August,” the organisation stated.
