President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday dismissed fears of imminent food scarcity in the country in the aftermath of the recent flood disaster in some states.
Addressing a delegation led by Vice-President Namadi Sambo and Minister of State for Federal Capital Territory, Ms. Jumoke Akinjide, which came to pay him Sallah homage at the State House, Abuja, Jonathan said Nigeria has enough grains in its strategic reserves to take care of any shortfall in food supply.
Jonathan castigated “selfish persons” who had been reportedly hoarding foodstuff in anticipation of food scarcity, saying his administration would protect Nigerians from such.
