This move is in line with President Bola Tinubu's commitment to addressing inflation and food scarcity issues.

Emphasizing the urgency of the situation, the government is poised to release 60,000 metric tonnes of food grains, with the primary objective of injecting essential commodities into the market to counter the rising cost of food. This strategic fiscal intervention aims to alleviate the burden on citizens and combat escalating inflation rates.

This initiative reflects the administration's dedication to providing tangible relief and fostering sustainable economic development.
