In a move reflecting the gravity of Nigeria’s ongoing food crisis, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has called on its staff to engage in fasting and prayer, seeking divine intervention for the nation’s food challenges.
According to an internal circular dated June 11, Adedayo Modupe, the ministry's Director of Human Resource Management, announced a three-day spiritual programme aimed at invoking God's guidance and support for Nigeria’s agricultural and food security efforts.
“This is to invite all staff of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security to a solemn prayer session for God’s guidance and success in supporting the government’s efforts to achieve food security,” the circular reads.
Themed “Divine Intervention for Protection and National Development,” the prayer sessions are scheduled to take place at Conference Hall B of the ministry’s headquarters in Area 11, Garki, Abuja. Each session will hold from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the designated days.
Staff are expected to fast on Monday, June 16, and continue on June 23 and June 30 as part of the programme.
