Coordinating Nigeria's Food System for Results
PFSCU exists to turn presidential commitments into measurable outcomes, coordinating federal, state, and local governments to deliver food security across Nigeria.
Why PFSCU Exists
Nigeria’s food system requires coordinated action across multiple levels of government, sectors, and stakeholders. Without clear accountability and delivery mechanisms, policy commitments remain unrealized.
PFSCU was established to solve this challenge: we coordinate federal, state, and local governments to turn the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda into measurable food security outcomes.
We exist to ensure that policies translate into programmes, programmes into action, and action into impact across all 36 states and the FCT.
What We Are Accountable For
PFSCU focuses on five Key Result Areas (KRAs) that define where progress is measured and outcomes are delivered across Nigeria's food system.
Food Systems Stabilization
Anticipating and responding to shocks, stabilising prices, and protecting strategic food assets.
Food Production & Productivity
Increasing yields through improved seed systems, fertilizer access, and technology adoption.
Finance & Investment
Unlocking private capital and strengthening delivery systems for market-led growth.
Job creation and agro-allied growth
Expanding value addition, agro-processing, and employment across value chains.
Data and institutional strengthening
Using data and coordination frameworks to improve decision-making system-wide.
How Delivery Works
The Presidential Food Systems Coordinating Unit (PFSCU) strengthens delivery across Nigeria's food systems in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda by coordinating federal and state actors, aligning institutions around shared national priorities, and ensuring that food systems reforms move from data and policy into coordinated implementation and measurable outcomes. Through continuous tracking of progress and resolution of implementation bottlenecks, PFSCU helps translate national commitments into real results across Nigeria's food systems.
Food security is delivered through a coordinated Federal-Subnational system, with clear roles and shared accountability.
