PFN supports Food4All initiative in Nigeria to address Hunger and Hardship through the Cooperative Business Model

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), the apex body of all Pentecostal Churches in Nigeria, has thrown its weight behind the ‘Food4All Initiative’ to tackle hunger and hardship among Nigerians, especially vulnerable citizens.

The ‘Food4All Initiative’, is a pro-Nigeria food security and agri-food entrepreneurship intervention programme created to help solve Nigeria & food crisis, hunger, youth and women unemployment, household poverty, and national insecurity.

The initiative was jointly created by FUND-YES Cooperative (a subsidiary social enterprise operated by Youths Off The Street Initiative) and Multi-Life Savers For The Less Privileged People, headed by Kennedy Iyere and Ejike Mbaka respectively.

Bishop Francis Wale-Oke, national president of PFN, who hosted the Food4All advocacy team in his church in Ibadan, led by Kennedy Iyere, described it as worthwhile and pledged PFN’s full support for the programme.

This programme, the Food4All Initiative, is a great intervention that is God-sent to take care of the ticking time bomb of food insecurity and acute hunger crisis, which if not speedily and squarely tackled will explode Nigeria into a chaotic and catastrophic mass protest by angry hungry people, who are overwhelmed with unbearable hunger and economic hardship,” he said.
