Former Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam has expressed concern over Nigeria’s escalating cost of living, citing the alarming price hike of eggs as a stark example.
A crate of eggs now costs N10,000, up from less than N1,000, making basic food items unaffordable for many Nigerians.
During an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Suswam highlighted the broader financial struggles Nigerians face, including rising transportation costs.
He urged President Bola Tinubu to reassess his economic policies and convene a meeting to address these challenges.
Suswam’s concerns resonate with millions of Nigerians struggling to make ends meet. The situation has sparked widespread discontent, with citizens sharing their struggles and demanding government action on social media.
Key Takeaways:
– Food insecurity and poverty affect millions of Nigerians.
– Economic reforms, including subsidy removals, have contributed to price surges.
– Urgent action is needed to make basic necessities affordable.
As Nigeria’s economic crisis deepens, Suswam’s call to action emphasizes the need for swift and effective solutions to alleviate the burden on citizens.
