He commended Tinubu for instructing the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to return the food they had seized to the people who owned it.
The human rights activist noted that it shows Tinubu’s dedication to combating hunger and food insecurity in Nigeria.
“The prevailing insecurity caused by banditry and other criminal activities has significantly impacted the agricultural sector.
“Many farmers are unable to go to their farms due to the fear of attacks, resulting in reduced agricultural productivity and food scarcity.
