Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has raised the alarm over looming food crisis in the country as a result of security challenges.
El-Rufai’s outcry over impending food crisis was on the heels of the meeting of the Directors of State Commands of the Directorate of State Security (DSS) from the seven North West states who converged in Kaduna to re-strategise against armed banditry and other criminal activities in the region.

According to the governor, there is looming food crisis, as farmers in the North are unable to go to farms due to banditry and other criminal activities.
“As Directors of the state commands of the DSS in the North West, you are all aware of the immense security challenges across the states in our region. The consequences of these serious security deficits have devastated the rural economy, taken lives and property and made simple travel an ordeal across federal, state and local roads,” he said.
