Government Vows Action on High Food Prices Amidst Insecurity
Aliyu Abdullahi, the Minister of State for Agriculture, reassured Nigerians that the Federal Government is actively addressing the soaring cost of food in the country. Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Abdullahi acknowledged the alarming 40.1% food inflation rate reported by the National Bureau of Statistics in March 2024, which has made essential commodities unaffordable for many.
He admitted to ongoing food insecurity but emphasized government efforts to mitigate the situation through various programs and interventions. Abdullahi highlighted agricultural activities in the current rainy season, noting that these efforts will yield results in food production in about three months. He stressed the need for enhanced dry-season farming to bolster national food security, acknowledging past neglect in this area.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
