The need to secure participations of all stakeholders in the formulations of national security strategy for States cannot be overemphasized. It was against this background that this study adopted Stakeholder Model of Implementation Theory to interrogate whether the Ministries of Agriculture in the North Central Zone, Nigeria participated in the planning and implementation of the 2014 National Security Strategy (NSS) on food security. The study adopted the survey research design where all the Ministries of Agriculture were selected and questionnaire administered to them. Analyses of the collated responses were through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and ANOVA using the IBM SPSS 26. Based on the test results that emanated from this study, the study concluded that the Ministries of Agriculture in the North Central Zone were not involved in the planning and implementation of the 2014 NSS. The study recommended that the involvement of relevant stakeholders at both the federal and state levelswill be very beneficial and in line with modern trends of collective participation.
