The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has
made a U-turn by suspending its planned prayer and fasting sessions aimed at
seeking divine intervention to end hunger in the country.
This comes just days after a leaked internal circular, dated
June 11, 2025, directed all staff—including directors, deputy directors,
assistant directors, and value chain desk officers—to gather for weekly
spiritual sessions at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja.
Signed by the Director of Human Resource Management, Mrs.
Adedayo Modupe O., the circular urged staff to fast and participate in a prayer
initiative tagged “Divine Intervention for Protection and National
Development,” slated for June 16, 23, and 30.
“This is to invite all staff of the Federal Ministry of
Agriculture and Food to a solemn prayer session for God’s guidance and
supporting the Government’s effort to achieve food security,” the circular
stated.
However, in a follow-up memo, the same director announced a
postponement of the exercise “until further notice,” without providing any
reasons.
The reversal follows growing public criticism and media
inquiries about the ministry’s spiritual response to the food crisis, with many
questioning its appropriateness amid rising hunger and inflation.
