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 businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.

According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.

The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
