“Egg Prices Could Soar to N10,000 per Crate” – Poultry Farmers Warn
The Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN) has issued a warning that the price of eggs may skyrocket to N10,000 per crate if immediate action is not taken to support the poultry industry.
Currently, a crate of eggs sells for around N5,500, but rising production costs and lack of government intervention could lead to a steep hike.
According to PAN, the primary reason for this potential increase is the escalating cost of feed, which accounts for a large portion of poultry farming expenses.
Farmers have been grappling with the rising prices of maize and soybean, key ingredients in poultry feed, alongside other operational challenges like insecurity, inflation, and poor access to credit.
These factors have made it increasingly difficult for farmers to maintain their operations, forcing some to reduce production or shut down entirely.
The association has called on the government to provide subsidies for feed and other farming inputs, as well as create policies that will help stabilize the market.
They stressed that without these urgent measures, egg prices will continue to rise, affecting not just farmers but also consumers, many of whom rely on eggs as a key source of affordable protein.
The situation has raised concerns about food security and the affordability of basic food items, with PAN urging the government to address the issue before the country faces even more severe shortages and price hikes.
Nigerians react as a user claims and shares that the price of rice in Nigeria is already reducing.
“Rice prices are finally dropping, minimum wage can buy a bag now. Step by step, we’re getting there. Nigeria will work in our lifetime.”

Nigerians now have a new choice when it comes to making calls and browsing the internet. A new telecom company called LEBARA has launched in the country with a new idea. Instead of the usual airtime system that most networks use, this company is offering something different, subscribers will now buy call minutes and data directly.
What makes this different is that customers will only pay for what they actually use. If you buy 100 minutes, those minutes are yours until you use them up. If you make a call that lasts only 30 seconds, the rest of your time remains, leaving you with 99 minutes and 30 seconds. Nothing is taken away without your knowledge, and every second is accounted for.
The company is rolling out its services with the new 0724 number series, and it already has connections with all the major networks in Nigeria. This means subscribers will be able to call friends, family, and business contacts across MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile and others without any problems. They have also been licensed as a Tier 5 Mobile Virtual Network Operator, which is the highest category approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Company officials explained that the goal is to give Nigerians more freedom, fairness, and transparency. For years, people have raised concerns about airtime being deducted too quickly or without clear explanation. By introducing a minutes-based model, the new operator wants to end that problem once and for all. Subscribers can clearly see what they paid for, how much they have used, and what is left.
