Nigerian journalist Jonathan Nda-Isaiah describes changes in Addis Ababa and the growth of domestic wheat production after a visit to the Ethiopian capital. In an article published by Nigerian daily Leadership, he compares this experience with Nigeria’s difficulties over food imports and child malnutrition.

Nigerian journalist Jonathan Nda-Isaiah compared Addis Ababa’s development with Nigeria’s food situation after returning to the Ethiopian capital, ten years after his previous visit. In an article published by Nigerian daily Leadership, he questions why his country is struggling to reduce food imports and child malnutrition despite its considerable agricultural resources.

His analysis links Addis Ababa’s urban transformation, increased domestic wheat production in Ethiopia and efforts to deliver on nutrition commitments. Jonathan Nda-Isaiah was part of the high-level delegation led by Nigerian Vice-President Kashim Shettima. The visit forms part of exchanges between the two countries on tackling malnutrition, which had already begun in Addis Ababa as part of efforts to tackle malnutrition.
