Thesis Abstract
The study explored and interrogated the nexus and intricacies of food security problem in Nigeria in its entirety and Ayamelum L.G.A. in particular. The study discerned that in spite of the laudable efforts made by our extant leaderships in the country to solve the anomaly (food insecurity), some families are still wallowing in deep-rooted hunger and deprivation engendered by the ugly trend (food insecurity). We used observation method in our data collection which enhanced the usage of secondary sources of data for the generation of relevant information. Moreover, descriptive qualitative method of analysis was equally used for the analysis of the generated data, however, we based our analysis on Marxian theory of social relation of production of material value from which we observed the obvious link between individuals in production process, hence, we noted among other propositions that in any social relation of production of material value, there must be people that make rules and the others that obey the rules and equally that nobody will ordinarily make rules that will directly or indirectly be against his interest. Based on the above assertion, the subsidization and distribution of fertilizers in the country are hampered by the tendencies that the few economically and politically advantaged class appropriate and corner the subsidized product to their selfish end thereby making the input to be structurally scarce for the potential poor and disadvantaged farmers. Finally, to turn the ugly economic trend to normalcy, we recommend that the government should buckle-up by instituting a virile, robust and transparent agency that will work like EFCC to monitor the subsidization and the corresponding distribution processes so as to enhance the trickling down of the dividend of fertilizer subsidy.
