President Bola Ahmed Tinubu reassured Nigerians that the increasing cost of food has been successfully managed, resulting in a decrease in hunger nationwide.
He made this announcement during a visit to the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Sunday, led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for a Sallah homage.
Tinubu emphasized the positive effects of recent policy adjustments, including the exclusion of the FCT from the Treasury Single Account (TSA), which he credited with significant improvements in various 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.
