Sanwo-Olu Says Food Security Requires Investment Across the Entire Food Chain

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says food security depends on investment and cooperation across the food value chain, not farming alone. He spoke at the Lagos Food Systems Nexus 2026 in Ikeja, where stakeholders discussed food production, distribution and economic opportunities. Sanwo-Olu said his administration would continue implementing its five-year Agricultural and Food Systems Roadmap through funding and partnerships. He urged farmers, businesses and investors to take part, saying government support alone would not be enough. Lagos Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Systems Abisola Olusanya said food security also depends on processing, transport, marketing, technology and distribution. She highlighted opportunities for young entrepreneurs and called for stronger collaboration among government, businesses and other partners.
