Plan International Sénégal

Food insecurity in Northeast Nigeria is no longer a looming threat; it's a present emergency. With 31 million Nigerians projected to face acute food insecurity during the 2025 lean season, including 4.7 million in the BAY (Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe) states at Crisis or Emergency levels (CH Phase 3+), and 1.3 million now cut off from food aid, the most vulnerable, especially girls, are being pushed to the brink. “When there’s a food shortage, girls either eat last—or not at all.” — Charles Usie, Country Director, Plan International Nigeria 🚨 Hunger is fuelling child labour, early marriage, migration, and exposure to armed groups. 📉 Progress across education, protection, and health is at risk of collapse. 💬 “Government must escalate this crisis with an emergency intervention pipeline. In the long term, we need the joint efforts of the private sector and international organisations to close the gap,” he added. This is not just about food. It's about survival, dignity, and the future of millions. We must act now to protect the most vulnerable, especially girls. #FoodCrisis #PlanInternationalNigeria #GirlsInCrisis #HumanitarianResponse #Adamawa #Yobe #Borno #EmergencyAid #ActNow #StandWithGirls #FutureGirlsWant #UntilWeAreAllEqual
