Former Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam has decried the soaring cost of living in Nigeria, citing the unaffordable price of eggs as an example. Suswam urged President Tinubu to reevaluate his economic policies, as many Nigerians struggle with basic needs like food and transportation.
Former Benue State Governor and current Senator, Gabriel Suswam, recently voiced concerns about the escalating economic difficulties in Nigeria. During an interview on Channels Television's Sunrise Daily, Suswam highlighted the steep rise in essential costs, particularly focusing on the price of eggs. He noted that a crate of eggs, which previously cost under N1,000, has now surged to N10,000, making it a struggle for Nigerians, including himself, to afford basic food items. Suswam emphasized that this significant price increase reflects the broader financial strain affecting Nigerians, who are also finding it increasingly difficult to afford transportation to work.
The senator called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently reconsider current economic policies and to convene a meeting with his team to address the challenges. Suswam’s comments have struck a chord with many Nigerians, who have taken to social media to express their frustrations about rising living costs. Many citizens echoed his concerns, sharing stories of struggling to afford everyday items and urging the government to immediately alleviate the burden. The reactions reveal widespread discontent, with people calling for practical solutions to make basic necessities more affordable and accessible.
