Nigerians can now buy food without struggle – Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the rising cost of food has been brought under control, leading to a reduction in hunger across the country.

He made this statement on Sunday when the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, led a delegation to the Presidential Villa in Abuja for a Sallah homage.

Tinubu highlighted the impact of recent policy changes, particularly the removal of the FCT from the Treasury Single Account (TSA), which he said had triggered rapid improvements in key sectors. 

“I started looking at the opening up of the rural areas, the residence of the vice president that has been abandoned for years came alive. The health centers were being rehabilitated. The health facilities of the residents of FCT are being upgraded. Our teachers at school are being rehabilitated, buildings are furnished. Thank you, Wike,” he said. 

Speaking further, the President emphasized that security had improved, and economic activities were stabilizing. 

“Today, we are living in peace, and security is improving. There is satisfaction in our output. Hunger is coming down. Food prices are lowering. We are able to go to the market and do business,” Tinubu added. 

His remarks come amid ongoing concerns over inflation and the high cost of living, which have been major challenges for his administration.
