Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has called for increased investment and collaboration across the food value chain to strengthen food security in the country.
He described food security as a national security concern, stressing the need for sustainable food production and distribution.
Speaking at the 2026 Lagos Food Systems Nexus, organised by the State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems, Sanwo-Olu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to its five-year Agricultural and Food Systems Roadmap through sustained funding and partnerships with the private sector, state governments and the Federal Government.
He urged farmers, investors and agribusiness operators to support the implementation of the roadmap.
Earlier, the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Systems, Abisola Olusanya, said food security went beyond agricultural production to include processing, transportation, marketing, technology and distribution.
She explained that inefficiencies across these areas could result in food insecurity, even when agricultural production increases.
The event brought together government officials, investors, development partners, academics and other stakeholders to discuss strategies for building a more productive and resilient food economy.
