The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government to immediately open the grain reserves and distribute them to needy Nigerians to tackle the hunger in the land.

The resolution followed the adoption of a motion of national urgent importance moved by the member representing Ifo/Ewekoro Federal Constituency, Ogun State, IBRAHIM ISIAKA.

Leading the debate, Hon. ISIAKA noted the cost of living has become very difficult for Nigerians even as he lamented the rising cost of cement.

The House also resolved to call on the federal government to boost food production and distribution.
