Comrade Amb Victor Monday Olajide 

*The Chief of Defence Staff, General CG Musa, OFR*, has emphasized that food security is essential for enhancing physical security, noting that "a hungry man is an angry man." He made this statement at the *launch of the 500 Billion Naira "Produce For Lagos" initiative, aimed at boosting agricultural development in the state*. This groundbreaking initiative by Governor Sanwo-Olu underscores the importance of food security in maintaining peace and stability.

General Musa commended the Lagos State Government for this innovative programme, highlighting the military's own efforts in agricultural development under his leadership. He also praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's leadership, particularly in the defence sector, and thanked Governor Sanwo-Olu for emulating the President's quality leadership.

The Defence Chief pledged his commitment to providing adequate security nationwide, and to creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility for businesses to thrive. This, he said, would enable farmers, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders to pursue their activities without fear, thereby contributing to the nation's economic growth and development.

The event was attended by notable guests, including Governor Ododo of Kogi State, Farmer Bagu of Niger State, Mr. Tony Elumedu, and other top government officials. Their presence underscores the significance of this initiative and the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders in promoting food security and national development.
