WFP Warns of Halting Food Aid to Nigeria Due to Funding Crisis
The World Food Programme (WFP) might stop giving food to people in Nigeria because they need $130 million.
This is because Nigeria's economy is struggling after some changes, like making fuel more expensive.
Things are now more expensive in Nigeria, and more people don't have enough food.
If the WFP stops helping, it could make things much harder for many people.
This also shows that Nigeria, even though it is a big economy in Africa, still relies on help from other countries.
WFP may halt food aid in Nigeria without $130 million.
Suspension of support is planned to last through 2025.
Nigeria faces severe economic fallout from reforms, including removal of fuel subsidies.
Soaring inflation and food insecurity are worsening.
Funding shortfall puts pressure on Nigerian government and international donors.
