Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, credits the recent decline in food prices to the administration’s aggressive efforts in tackling insecurity.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Bwala emphasized that improved security conditions have restored confidence in the agricultural sector, leading to increased local production.
“The reason the food prices are crashing is because we have dealt a heavy blow to insecurity, hence farmers enthusiastically go to farm and do what they do best. President Tinubu @officialABAT means business,” Bwala wrote.
He dismissed claims that the price reduction was driven by increased importation, describing such reports as “fake news” spread by individuals unhappy with the government’s security gains.
“Ignore the sore losers who are peddling fake news that importation is the reason for crashing of the prices and that President Tinubu is destroying the economy of the North. Such individuals are probably not happy that we are dealing with insecurity,” Bwala added.
