Former Director of the Budgetary Department, Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN), Dr Titus Okunrounmu, advises the federal government to ensure the geopolitical zones specialise in a particular food item.

He gave this statement during an interview with NAN on Friday in Ota. He states that this approach will help the country manage inflation and reduce it.

“If the governments in the six geopolitical zones specialise in the production of one food item, automatically, inflation rate would be reduced to the minimised level.” In addition, Nigerians need to embark on farming to stem the prices of goods and services, which is reflected in the inflation figure.”
