1Popular Nollywood actor, Seun Jimoh has urged the Nigerian government to declare a state of emergency on food production.
The actor made this appeal in a post on his official Instagram page while reacting to the level of hardship in the country.
While emphasizing the dire consequences of the current state of affairs for Nigerians, Jimoh noted that starvation should only occur in a country during war or when there are no fertile lands.
He further implored the President Bola Tinubu administration to urgently tackle hunger and food insecurity in 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,” he wrote.
