Prince Agba disclosed that a quarterly report released by the global organisation showed that the figure projected was higher than the 19.45 million forecast in 2022, attributed to the vast food deficit due to the neglect of agricultural production and other areas of the food ecosystem for many decades.

The various donors and development partners promised to support Nigeria in achieving the already established implementation process.
