Ministry Of Agriculture Clarifies Prayers For Food Security

The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has said that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is determined to ensure that Nigerians have access to quality and affordable food.

In a statement issued to clarify and verify a leaked memo regarding a special prayer session by the staff of the Ministry, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture asserts that the exercise is not an official policy to address agricultural and food security challenges in the country.

The statement explains that the prayer session is an initiative of the Human Resources Department aimed at promoting the well-being of the staff, just as the already established monthly aerobic exercises and the gymnasium are intended for physical fitness. Routine medical check-ups for staff are conducted for their health.

The Ministry affirms that the Ministers and the management team are working to ensure food and nutrition security for the country in accordance with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

This includes the delivery of more than one thousand tractors to support farmers and the signing of the commercialization phase under the supervision of President Tinubu.
