The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has declared a three-day prayer and fasting program, seeking divine intervention for national protection and improved food security.
An internal memo dated June 11, 2025, and signed by the Ministry’s Director of Human Resource Management, Mrs. Adedayo Modupe O., called on all ministry staff to participate.
The circular specifically invited directors, deputy directors, assistant directors, value chain desk officers, and other personnel to take part in the spiritual exercise.
Themed “Divine Intervention for Protection and National Development,” the initiative aims to seek God’s guidance in supporting the government’s efforts to build a stable and sustainable food system across the country.
According to Modupe, the prayer session reflects the ministry’s belief in combining practical policy work with spiritual support to address the nation’s food challenges.
