FOOD SECURITY: OGSG SETS UP COMMITTEE ON DATA GATHERING


The Ogun State Government has inaugurated an inter-agency committee named Cadre Harmonise (CH), to work in conjunction with private partners on data collection and analysis needed to ensure food security.
      
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Dotun Sorunke, while inaugurating the committee in Abeokuta, said the government would continue to take necessary steps to boost agriculture for the economic growth of the State.

Sorunke noted that members of the Committee were painstakingly chosen from relevant agencies that have crucial roles to play in the aggregation of data and are well suited to give a qualified analysis of the demographics of the projected food and nutrition situation.

He added that the Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration was poised to explore avenues that would help develop agriculture, saying the committee would review the study result, to aid decision-making on food and nutrition, as well as the implementation of actions towards strengthening the sector.

Also speaking, the National CH Coordinator, Mr. Anthony Amu, applauded the State for signifying interest in the programme, which had been carried out in 21 States of the country, saying the parameters for the analysis include food and nutrition security outcomes.

Amu added that other factors to be considered include, hazards, food availability and access, as well as food utilisation and stability, charging the committee members to use the opportunity to serve the State diligently, by presenting accurate data and analysis.
