Senator Shehu Sani, a former legislator and social critic, stated on Monday that Nigerians should now be concerned about the rising food inflation and cost of living that are wreaking havoc on the country.
The declaration came after the Ivorian national team defeated the Nigerian Super Eagles in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations championship final.
Sani stated on his X handle, “AFCON Cup gone, we can now face Cup of Garri.”
The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, has issued a warning that Nigeria’s economic crisis is getting worse, according to News360 Info.
It stated this in a recently published report titled ‘Review of Nigeria’s Post Financing Assessment’ by the IMF Executive Board.
IMF expressed concern that the stagnant per-capita growth, widespread poverty, and severe food insecurity have further intensified the persistent cost-of-living crisis in Nigeria.
