The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) assistant director-general and regional representative for Africa, Abebe Halle-Gabriel has visited Nigeria in a bid to meet with some selected government officials to chart a way forward in improving the livelihood of the citizens.
The FAO deputy director of the Office of Emergencies and Resilience, Shukri Ahmed who is also part of the visit will accompany the assistant DG to Borno where they will interact with FAO project participants and government officials in the state.
According to a media advisory from FAO Nigeria office, the mission will strengthen solidarity and amplify the voice of humanitarian actors in advocating for support to stem food insecurity in the country.
