President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has expressed concern over food deficit in the country, declaring that more than 33 million Nigerians suffer from acute hunger.
Senator Akpabio stated this in a remark at the resumption of plenary on Tuesday in Abuja after over a two-month recess.
Akelicious reports that Akpabio maintained that the only way to address the food crisis currently rocking the country is to resort to mechanised farming.
Speaking further, the Senate President drew attention to terrorism, banditry and national grid collapse as some of the challenges facing the people and called for an immediate end to them all.
Meanwhile, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan representing Kogi Central, resumed plenary at the National Assembly on Tuesday.
Natasha, who rounded off her six-month suspension, officially resumed her seat in the senate on Tuesday at exactly 11:42 am.
She walked into the Senate chambers, made her way to her seat, and after taking it, exchanged pleasantries with a few senators.
