Food insecurity persists in parts of the North East, particularly in areas that are hard to reach. Households in these areas are struggling due to limited access to farmland, markets, and assistance. Conflict in northern Nigeria is affecting people's livelihoods and causing displacement.

This is leading to food consumption gaps and sustaining a crisis among those affected. The situation is expected to continue through January 2027. Further details on the food security outlook are available from the Nigeria Food Security Outlook Update, which provides more information on the current situation and its expected impact on local communities.
