Fix food first and fast or forget it…

The urgent need to address Nigeria's food supply crisis is paramount, according to a commentary piece. The author invokes the words of a great Indian leader, spoken before his assassination in 1948, emphasizing that "Fix food first and fast or forget it." This statement was made during a time when India faced food scarcity worse than Nigeria's current situation.

The article suggests that the current food scarcity in Nigeria is dire, impacting millions of people. The historical context provided by the Indian leader's quote underscores the fundamental importance of food security as a prerequisite for national progress and stability.

By drawing this parallel, the piece implies that other national development goals or aspirations will be unattainable if the immediate and pressing issue of food scarcity is not resolved swiftly and effectively. The commentary serves as a stark warning about the consequences of neglecting the food supply chain.
