In a significant commitment to combat hunger and achieve food security in Nigeria, the non-governmental organization, Strategic Outreach Support (SOS) has announced a comprehensive plan to address the alarming crisis of food insecurity in the country.

Setting its sights on the ambitious goal of eradicating hunger, SOS aims to work hand in hand with local communities, government agencies, and international partners to create sustainable solutions.

With millions of Nigerians currently grappling with malnutrition and limited access to nutritious meals, the organization believes it is more crucial than ever to act swiftly and decisively.

SOS’s team lead, Ikechukwu Opara, made this known at a press briefing, on Tuesday, in Abuja.

He said: “The Strategic Outreach Support (SOS) is a tax-exempt organization with a global vision of creating self-reliant societies where individuals and communities can harness their inner potentials.
