Abstract
This study explores the nexus between agricultural governance and food security in Nigeria. It employs two main approaches in achieving its objective: descriptive and econometric. The econometric approach engages Autoregressive Distribution Lag (ARDL) in examining the long-run relationship between the indicators of food security and agricultural governance for the period 1985 to 2016. The results show that in the longrun, agricultural performance contribute to food security in Nigeria. The findings from descriptive analysis unveils that Nigeria has the highest number of people who are undernourished, which increased by 22% between 2000 and 2001 while between 2000 and 2015, population grew by 30.60% with the rate of violence increasing by 55%. The study concludes by recommending, among others, that accountability in addressing the challenges in the implementation of food security programmes and ensuring timely distribution of food resources is germane.
