The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Sen. Abubakar Kyari, has affirmed that Nigeria’s food markets are experiencing a remarkable development as staple food items are becoming more affordable for citizens.
Senator Kyari made this development known through his X handle, where he noted that this achievement is a direct result of the government’s strategic efforts to combat rising food prices.
“Fellow Nigerians, something remarkable is happening in our food markets! Over the past months, we’ve taken strategic steps to combat rising food prices, and the results are clear—staple food prices are dropping significantly,” Senator Kyari announced.
The minister attributed this success to the decisive government action and unwavering policy implementation under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
“This is not by chance, but a result of our commitment to ensuring fair pricing, enhanced food distribution, and increased agricultural productivity,” Senator Kyari emphasized.
While acknowledging that this is just the beginning, the minister reassured Nigerians that the government remains dedicated to its goal of ensuring no citizen goes to bed hungry.
As the country continues to work towards achieving this vision, the recent drop in food prices is a welcome relief for many Nigerians.
