Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State on Thursday urged the federal government to prioritise the development of the agriculture sector in helping Nigeria achieve food security.

He made the call while speaking to State House reporters after a meeting with Vice President Kashim Shettima at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
