Highlights
• 2025 remains a challenging year for food security in Nigeria as insecurity persists and inflation rates fluctuate.
• The WFP-led UNHAS, ETS, and Logistics Sector common services remain critical enablers of humanitarian response across the northeast, without which assistance cannot reach the most affected communities.
• With a critical funding shortage and the necessitated modality change, WFP could only target 1 million people in March. WFP remains at the centre of humanitarian response across the northeast and northwest, strengthening food systems.
