Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu calls for stronger investment across the food chain to improve food security. He also backs implementation of Lagos’s five-year agricultural and food systems roadmap with the private sector and other levels of government.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Thursday called for stronger investment and cooperation across the food chain to improve Nigeria’s food security and support economic stability. He was speaking at the Lagos Food Systems Nexus 2026, organised by the Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems in Ikeja, according to P.M. News.
Sanwo-Olu said his administration was continuing its five-year roadmap for agriculture and food systems through funding and partnerships with the private sector, other states and the federal government. He called on farmers, agribusinesses and investors to participate in its implementation.
Lagos Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Systems Abisola Olusanya stressed that food security should cover processing, marketing, transport, technology and distribution, beyond agricultural production alone. She cited Amoke Oge and Chowdeck as examples of businesses creating opportunities beyond traditional agriculture.
