Abstract
From the early 197Os, the problems of food shortage reached an
alarming state, necessitating more serious attention from both governments
and individuals. In the case of the former, these responses have
been numerous and varied, ranging from short- to long-term measures, from
importing food to make up for the shortfall, to laying the necessary
infrastructure for higher output in agriculture. Prominent and most
important among the imported foodstuffs have been cereals, especially
rice. This paper is therefore an attempt to assess the success or failure
of the measures taken by the various Nigerian governments in response to
this crisis.
