The paper discusses potential strategies to address ethical challenges, enhance supply chain resilience, and ensure the ethical and sustainable flow of food and energy resources in the aftermath of the Russo-Ukraine conflict. In conclusion, this research contributes to the understanding of the ethical dimensions of supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical events. The outcomes provide valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers interested in navigating these challenges associated with global crises and their impact on developing economies like Nigeria.
