The Lagos State government has promised to consistently pursue initiatives to lower the current high food prices and establish an effective reserve management system within the State.
The State government commitment follows the rebranding of the Ministry of Agriculture to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems.
Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Systems, Abisola Olusanya, made the commitment on behalf of the state government while announcing the new name of the ministry.
She partly said: “Food, as we all know, is essentially the bottom line of all that we do as a Ministry which cuts across several activities, from storage, processing, logistics, preservation to packaging and that Agriculture encompasses a lot more than just production.
“A lot is happening behind the scenes to ensure that in terms of pricing of food, we can bring it down and the inclusion of Food Systems is a process towards achieving this feat”.
