Show Notes
On the 21st of March 2026, Oiza sits down with Alexander Isong, President of the Organization for Technology Advancement of Cold Chain in West Africa (OTACCWA), for a critical and solution-driven discussion on Nigeria’s food crisis.
The conversation interrogates a pressing question — is the challenge truly about insufficient production, or is it a failure in preservation, storage, and distribution systems? Drawing from expertise in cold chain technology, the episode explores how post-harvest losses, weak infrastructure, and inefficiencies across the supply chain continue to undermine food security.
Insightful and forward-thinking, this episode sheds light on practical pathways to reducing waste, improving access, and rethinking how Nigeria feeds itself.
