Abstract: While climatic change induced by natural disasters of flood, drought, pollution, and erosion is inevitable, much still needs to be done in taking proactive and preventive measures by the farmers and government at all levels to mitigate its havoc. Consequences of the destruction of farmlands and rivers are typified by the scarcity of agricultural products and high prices of available ones. In recent times, government intervention has been mostly a scientific forecast of the possibility of flood and drought that could change the climatic conditions in vulnerable states of the federation. There is also the man-induced disaster of destruction of farmlands and relocation of farmers for safety in the raging herdsmen/ farmers clash in the North Central zone of Nigeria that is a disincentive to a bountiful harvest. It is on this backdrop that, this paper using content/textual analysis as literary method and approach examines the sensitization of farmers, government at the grassroots level, and other stakeholders on the threat to food security from climatic change in the play, Wake Up Everyone. This is paper is therefore justified on the strength that it adds to the existing literature on environmental issues as well as the global discourses on food security. Hence, the focus of this paper is on the critical reading of Greg Mbaijiorgu’s Wake Up Everyone within the context of climatic change on Food security.
