widespread lack of access:
  • due to persistent civil conflict in the northern areas, floods, high food prices, and an economic slowdown - about 24.86 million people are projected to face acute food insecurity during the June to August 2023 lean season, which is more than the 19.45 million people estimated to be acutely food insecure in 2022;
  • acute food insecurity is mostly the result of worsening insecurity and conflicts in northern states, which, as well as impeding farmers’ physical access to their lands and disrupting agricultural activities, led to the displacement of about 3.57 million people as of April 2023;
  • macroeconomic challenges, marked by persistent high inflation, depreciation of the naira on the informal market, high fuel prices and the lingering impacts of cash shortages following the introduction of new banknotes at the start of 2023, have aggravated the food security conditions of vulnerable households (2023)

Rewritten: too little of the 2022 text remains to mark the changes.
