President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed a Federal Executive Council (FEC) committee to immediately roll out actionable measures aimed at reducing food prices across Nigeria.
The President, who expressed concern over the rising cost of staple items, charged the committee to adopt urgent and practical strategies to bring relief to households grappling with inflationary pressures.
He emphasized that access to affordable food is a priority for his administration, noting that the committee must work in synergy with relevant stakeholders to ensure that interventions translate into tangible results for citizens.
Tinubu’s directive underscores his government’s determination to confront the food crisis, which has been worsened by supply chain disruptions, insecurity in farming communities, and the effects of global economic shocks.
The move is expected to open discussions on both short-term price stabilization efforts and long-term reforms to strengthen Nigeria’s food security architecture.
