Kwara Polytechnic Rector Advocates Multi-Institutional Collaboration to Combat Food Insecurity
The Rector of the Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, Dr Abdul Jimoh Muhammed, has urged collaboration between the Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute (NSPRI) and other research institutions, as well as higher education bodies, to address food insecurity in Nigeria.
Speaking at the 2025 Internal Review Meeting of the NSPRI in Ilorin, the state capital, the Rector noted that achieving food sufficiency requires more than increasing production. He stressed the importance of minimising food losses across the supply chain, a goal that demands coordinated efforts and innovative solutions.
Dr Muhammed praised the NSPRI for its critical role in food security, particularly its research into post-harvest challenges and handling of agricultural commodities, as well as its development of technologies to address these issues. The Rector highlighted the institute's contributions as vital to reducing waste and enhancing food availability nationwide.
The meeting, themed “Consulting E-Oracle for Sustainable Post-Harvest Management,” brought together various stakeholders from the agricultural research sector to discuss strategies that would enhance food sufficiency in Nigeria.
Discussions at the meeting focused on innovative methodologies, particularly the integration of technology in post-harvest management, with the 'E-Oracle' initiative being a cornerstone of the conference.
The aim was to utilise digital tools to improve monitoring, reduce losses, and ensure that farmers receive adequate support in managing their produce after harvest.
