As featured on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

The first in a series of reports from around the world about food, food policy, and food security in Nigeria, a country that has historically enjoyed food surpluses. That was before vast oil reserves were discovered. Today Africa's most populous nation must use its revenues to import food elbowing out impoverished neighbors in a precarious regional food market.

This report is part of Pulitzer Center-sponsored project "The Intersections of Insecurity in Nigeria, India and Malawi" (http://bit.ly/AFxoHT).
