President Bola Tinubu claims food prices in Nigeria are stabilizing and hunger levels are decreasing due to his administration’s economic policies. Speaking in Abuja, he credited policy changes for development progress. However, skeptics argue that food inflation remains high, sparking mixed reactions from Nigerians on the issue.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has asserted that food prices in Nigeria are stabilizing and hunger levels are decreasing, attributing the improvement to his administration’s economic strategies.
Speaking on Sunday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike led a Sallah delegation, Tinubu credited recent policy changes for the reported progress. He emphasized that removing the FCT from the Treasury Single Account (TSA) has accelerated development, enabling investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
“The vice president’s residence, long abandoned, is now in use. Health centers are being rehabilitated, and schools are receiving much-needed upgrades. There is greater satisfaction in our output,” Tinubu stated.
The president further claimed that Nigeria’s security situation is improving and that economic conditions are stabilizing, making business activities easier. “Hunger is coming down. Food prices are lowering. We can now go to the market and transact,” he added.
However, many Nigerians remain skeptical about these claims, as food inflation has remained a pressing issue, with prices of staples still high in many parts of the country. Economic analysts argue that while some interventions have been made, it is too soon to declare a significant reduction in hunger.
Tinubu’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with supporters praising his optimism and critics questioning the reality on the ground. As food security remains a top concern, Nigerians continue to await tangible relief from soaring living costs
