President Tinubu
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Albert Akpomudje, has urged President Bola Tinubu to tackle the twin problems of insecurity and power supply as a way of ending food insecurity in the country.
Akpomudje made the call during an interview with journalists in Ughelli, Delta State on Wednesday.
He decried the illegal occupation of farmlands in most parts of the country which, according to him, had made farming difficult thereby leading to low food production in the nation.
He, however, expressed the hope that with an improved electricity supply, Nigeria will attain its maximum potential.
Akpomudje said, “I want to tell President Tinubu that one shortcut to tackle food insecurity and rising cost of living in the country is to tackle insecurity and power headlong.
“This has a multiplier effect that will solve the seemingly problems of hardship we face today.
“Herdsmen have occupied a great chunk of our farmlands and people are having difficulties going to farm.

“Those in production and manufacturing sectors have no power to produce, companies have left the country and our production capacity has nosedived to an unacceptable proportion.
“If the President can tackle the illegal occupation of our lands by killer herdsmen and improve our power generation, these problems we face will disappear naturally as people can return to farms without fears, companies will increase manufacturing and production. It is a known fact that insecurity is still persistent till now.
“In Delta here, the Uwheru axis is still being occupied by the killer herdsmen and our people cannot go to farm”.
