The House of Representatives has advised the Federal Government to feed hungry Nigerians from the grain reserves immediately.
They made this announcement on Tuesday, urging that it would be the only tool left in tackling the extreme poverty situation in the country. The Punch reports that the resolution followed the adoption of a motion of national urgent importance moved by the member representing Ifo/Ewekoro Federal Constituency, Ogun State, Mr Ibrahim Isiaka.
Mr Isiaka who led the debate lamented that the cost of living in the country has become very expensive as prices of items and commodities have become so high beyond the reach of the common man. “Even though we have all the raw materials for the production.”
He said, “The House resolves to urge the Federal Government and stakeholders to immediately open the food reserves to address the hunger in our country.”
