“The aim is to raise awareness on current situations, end hunger in Nigeria and mobilise citizens to take action. We must prevent the re-occurrence of food shortages in Nigeria and end hunger and famine in Africa,” a statement said.

The musicians have recorded a song which was released to the public on last Thursday, March 29th in Lagos and will be followed by a series of public events to raise awareness with African leaders, the media and the general public on the importance of addressing Africa’s food security crisis.

An Oxfam rep said the initiative is part of the organisation’s global campaign that aims to empower men and women living in poverty to claim power in the way the world manages land, water and climate change, so that they can grow or buy enough food to eat – now and in the future.  In Nigeria the GROW campaign is implemented under the auspices of Voices for Food Security (VFS)—a platform of 15 Nigerian Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and small-scale farmers associations across the country.
