Locust alert !!!
The federal government has alerted farmers of locusts and quelea birds coming into the country from Niger Republic. Audu Ogbeh, minister of agriculture and rural development, gave the warning in Abuja during an emergency meeting with commissioners for agriculture from 24 states.
Ogbeh expressed fear that the current hunger in the country would further be exacerbated if the alert from Niger was not taken seriously.He said Nigeria was already facing food crisis, and the entry of the pests could worsen the situation.
There is a warning received that locusts and quelea birds are messing up in Niger Republic, from where they normally attack us in Nigeria,” Ogbeh said.“We know how dangerous quail birds and locusts can be. If they arrive within hours or days, they will have wiped out everything the farmers would have put in the field.
The Prices of food today are high and Nigerians are troubled, People are angry and they want this high cost of food items to be resolved in no time. The minister added that a disease known as army worm had been attacking maize in the country. continue
