Climate change threatens Nigeria’s future food security

Nigeria is undergoing a rapid shift in climate, with prolonged periods of extreme heat depleting water resources and placing the country’s food security at increased risk.

According to the Associated Press, more than 31 million people in Nigeria are already facing food insecurity, with no clear solution sought to counteract the worsening agricultural conditions.    

The growing concern over food security is especially alarming as Nigeria  is projected to become the world’s third most populous country, alongside the United States, in 2025.
