| description | The study examined the journey so far towards achieving the United Nation Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 2 (“zero hunger) from the year 2001 to 2022 in Nigeria. Data was gathered from official sources such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), FAO, and the World Bank, and then analyzed using descriptive tools.The findings revealed that a significant population of Nigerians are still undernourished, representing over 15.00% of the country's population.The fertilizer use rate and water use efficiency in agriculture were found to be very low relative to the other countries in Africa. The finding further showed that agricultural land marginally increase on yearly basis without corresponding increase in factor productivity. In addition, less than 60.00% of the country’s population have access to electricity, while 25.46% of the country’s rural population has access to electricity in 2022. The agricultural orientation index in Nigeria was low compared to some African countries. The findings revealed that on average Nigeria is rather too slow or better is off track towards achieving the SDG of 'Zero Hunger’ by 2030. The country’s current efforts, strategies and the general progress towards SDG number 2 are grossly insufficient. The nation must approach the SDG number 2 as a team player collaborating the domestic agenda with the regional and global plans to effectively unlock the potential needed to attain the mandate of 'Zero hunger’ in 2030. |
