Abstract

This study explored the nexus between Government Policies and failure to fast-track Nigeria’s agricultural development and tackle the problem of food insecurity through efficient delivery of food via government agricultural policies since 1970-2015. Over the years, the Nigerian Governments, national and international conventions have come up with rules and proclamations on how to eradicate hunger, how food would be made available for everyone in the recent decades, but these rules have not been able to place the country in the list of food secured nations of the world. The resultant effect is that food security continues to elude the Nigerian nation. This study, which is analytically qualitative used secondary sources of data. In its findings, the study found that since 1970, the various Nigerian Governments have made various efforts through agricultural agencies in running agricultural programmes geared towards making food available for her citizens, all to no avail. Hence, improved agricultural practices and food security have been a mirage chase by the national state irrespective of the government efforts. The way forward is to change the ways and patterns of administering these government policies to the people that are directly affected so as to get the right result; the fertilizers provided by the government and agricultural bank loans should get to the grass roots where the real farmers reside instead of the city farmers that hold the various party tickets who hijack these efforts in the urban centers.
