ABUJA: More than 33 million Nigerians face hunger next year, the number rising sharply as soaring food prices exacerbate the effects of conflict and climate change, according to a report on Friday.
The “Cadre Harmonise” report -- compiled by Nigerian officials, UN agencies and major aid NGOs -- reports twice a year on the nutrition situation in 26 crisis-hit states in the north and centre of Nigeria.
According to the latest figures 25.1 million Nigerian are already experiencing “acute food insecurity” even at the peak of this year´s harvest season, following floods and dramatic price rises.
