The Federal Government has urged Nigerians not be afraid of any form of food crisis, as it kicked against the projections of the International Monetary Fund.

It stated that several measures has been put in place to forestall the scarcity of food in Nigeria, stressing that there is no need for panic among citizens across the country.

On Monday, the International Monetary Fund asked Nigerians to brace up for higher food prices in 2023 due to recent floods and high fertilizer prices.

But the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has opposed the position of the global financial institution, as it provided a document detailing what the FMARD has done and is doing to avert such a crisis.
