31 Million Nigerians at Risk of Hunger as UN Sounds Alarm Over Food Crisis

Humanitarian | Fax360 News

An alarming 31 million Nigerians face food insecurity in the coming months, with aid agencies warning that the country could be heading toward a full scale hunger crisis. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has raised the red flag, citing widespread displacement, inflation, and armed conflict as key drivers.

The agency disclosed that only 21% of its $130 million emergency appeal for Nigeria has been met, placing millions of vulnerable citizens particularly children and women in the North-East at risk of malnutrition or worse.

Experts fear that without urgent global attention, the humanitarian situation may deteriorate rapidly. Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy, continues to struggle with balancing security, agriculture, and aid coordination.
