Food Security: Grain marketers urge the government to look into the activities of the NGO in Yobe
By: Yahaya Wakili
The Assistant Secretary of the Potiskum Grains Market in Yobe State, Malam Umar Adamu Mamudo, has appealed to the federal government to look into the activities of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) regarding food security in the country.
He said that if care is not taken by the government, gradually, with time, these NGOs will take control of the food security in the country.
Malam Umar Adamu Mamudo stated this in an interview with the News in his office. He said that these NGOs are skyrocketing the price of food staff in the country because they are purchasing commodities at a high price, and we don’t know where they are taking them.
“Government should make a policy that can stop some non-government organizations (NGOs) from buying the little foods in the hands of the masses; every day the price is going high and people still buy them, creating a shortage of the commodities in the market.” Mamudo said.
He suggested that the government should introduce the policy of purchasing commodities and keep them in its warehouses, and when the price of goods goes up in the market, the government should open its own and sell them at a lower price to the people.
“Allowing the NGOs to panetreat beyond expectations in the market, with time, if care is not taken, they will take control of food security in the country, not even in our market in the country as a whole” he said.
Mamudo pointed out that the reason for the for the issue is that the price of food is increasing best on the economic system of our country. The system does not give room for price control measures, so it is a factor of demand and supply that determines the price, although there are some political and some other factors that usually affect the price of our commodities.
Umar Adamu Mamudo appealed to the Yobe state government to provide some infrastructure facilities to the Potiskum grain market, such as roads, drainages, and lighting, adding that the Yobe state government is proud of the Potiskum grain market.
Currently, the price of food crops and cash crops is skyrocketing in the market, with a bag of millet sold at $80,000, corn at $80,000, maize at $80,000, white beans at $160,000, bombera nut at $160,000, and ground nut at $120,000, respectively.
