Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has said that his policies have taken a positive turn and reduced food prices across the country.

In a message to the Muslim community ahead of the Ramadan, the president said food prices are on the decline despite the rising inflation that has taken a toll on the nation’s economy.

Describing his policies as bold and transformative, Tinubu said Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has improved and that essential food items were becoming more affordable.  

“The once-soaring prices of essential food items are now trending downward, providing much-needed relief to our fasting population and all Nigerians,” the president said.

He, further urged Muslims across the country to embrace self-discipline and generosity during Ramadan while assuring that his administration would continue to improve on the lives of the people.

As the wet season approaches, we remain steadfast in boosting agricultural productivity.

“We are determined to enhance food production and ensure food security for all Nigerians,” he said.
