Federal Executive Council Tasked with Ensuring Affordable, Accessible Food Supply.

President Bola Tinubu has instructed the Federal Executive Council committee to expedite measures to reduce food prices nationwide.

The Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, disclosed this in Abuja, noting that the directive focuses on ensuring the safe passage of farm produce across transport routes to cut logistics costs.

Despite government interventions, food remains largely unaffordable for millions.

The minister explained that the plan is tied to Tinubu’s broader vision of food sovereignty; beyond availability, to ensure affordability, accessibility, and nutrition on a sustainable basis.
