Nigeria is currently ranked in the top 20 most hungry countries in the world, according to Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the most recent general election.

According to Obi, this is in line with Nigeria’s ranking of 109th out of 125 nations in the world hunger index.

During his private Ramadan visit to Kebbi State, he disclosed this to Secretary to the State Government Yakubu Bala Tafida at the Government House.

According to the former governor of Anambra State, Nigeria is impoverished and hungry as a result of the federal government’s failure to make comprehensive agricultural investments.

He said that these kinds of investments ought to go to the North, which has an abundance of arable land suitable for both mechanized and peasant farming.

Obi bemoaned even more that the country has the greatest amount of uncultivated land in the world combined with a sizable population of young, physically fit jobless people who could have been the engine for massive agricultural investment that would have created millions of direct and indirect jobs in the nation.

Additionally, he announced the commissioning of a borehole at Kahuta hamlet, which is located behind Dukku Army Barracks in Birnin Kebbi, and the direct feeding of 100 impoverished people during Ramadan.

“We are not here to make political statements; we are here to provide water and some small financial assistance,” he stated.
