    • I am in complete agreement with this proposal for which I have been seeking support for several years.
       
      The threat to Urban Food Supply chain in urban Nigeria during the COVID 19 Pandemic  was very severe. It has been exacerbated post covid by the devastating flood of 2022. The food security situation and resultant food inflation is likely to worsen in 2023. I want to believe that the Nigeria situation is similar in most sub-sahara Africa. Therefore this consultation coming out of FAO is a most  wecome development. I empathise with the objectives and goals expressed and look forward to its full enunciation and implementation. I am available to be part of its further development and implementation.
       
      Finally, to add that I have a draft CONCEPT NOTE on the subject matter for which I am seeking collaboration, partnership and funding. Perhaps, I have not been looking in the right places I am most willing to share this draft document with the coordinators of this CONSULTATION, others and institutions that may be interested.
