Economic Hardship: Begin Importation Of Food - TUC Tells FG by Nemere2020: 3:58pm On Feb 26 |
The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has called on the Federal Government to commence the immediate importation of essential food items to cushion the effect of rising food prices across the country. https://nairametrics.com/2024/02/26/cost-of-living-crisis-tuc-to-fg-begin-importation-of-food/?amp=1 6 Likes 1 Share

A good bad idea. Importing food with scarce dollars would deepen the problem. It'll be more food that Nigerians CANNOT afford. Instead, the government needs to launch an aggressive and sustained comprehensive attack on bandits and terrorists holding whole farming villages to ransom. Also, the government needs to approve state police ASAP and have the states set up a special farmland protection squad. Like SARS, but better because they'll only harass trespassing herdsmen and criminal bandits. Finally, more stringent price control measures need to be introduced. It's MADNESS for the price of goods to jump more than 40-50% in just 7 days. 39 Likes 2 Shares |

You want to import food when one dollar is almost 2k. How much would they sell it by the time it's cleared from the port? The naira has to gain value against the dollar before we can talk of importation. 26 Likes 3 Shares |

While this might be good. Nigerians won't trust it because Either they loot the money allocated for it or When the food arrives. Oga at the top will say, this is for Sinate president, this one is for Ganduje. They will move the food to their states for campaign. To make them look like its part of their constsituency project. Nigeria has a long way to go. I forgot to mention that some states in South South and South East wont get a grain of rice. Yet, they will publish they have fed 100 million people Wetin be that Buhari Humanitarian minister that said she fed 16 million kids during covid. abeg fear Naija politicians 2 Likes |

Why are Nigerians not seeing beyond the 5 inches in front of their noses? Even if you give 200 million Nigerians bags of rice and foodstuff, what happens when the food finishes? Is Nigeria now one big refugee camp? 1 Like 1 Share |

But Tinubu recently said he won't tow the line of importation of food commodities but to buy tractors for food production. |

Which kind useless advice be dis? Fighting a problem by creating other problems. Is TUC saying we should import Garri, cassava, yam, Plaintain, beans, agbado, groundnut etc? APC should tackle insecurity. They know what to do but don’t want to do it. By the way, Where are the garri, ewa, agbado BAT promised? 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Economic Hardship: Begin Importation Of Food - TUC Tells FG by Capernum: 4:14pm On Feb 26 |
Yes. If Tinubu is wise or surrounded by wise men, the best way to respond to the prices of essential food items is to open the borders for food items only. A bag of rice will reduce to less than 30k, then the price of the local rice will crash like pack of card too. Let rice, beans, be vegetable oil, semo etc roll in and see how people will start singing his praise. Tinubu ko lagidi ni... Ko gbon rara. Ode alagidi radarada. When people buy cheaper they'll sell cheaper. Even with the Naira free fall, how much do you think a bag of rice is in Benin Republic? 2 Likes |
Re: Economic Hardship: Begin Importation Of Food - TUC Tells FG by seborrhic: 4:14pm On Feb 26 |
There is no shortage of food,fo ol. It's that the food is too expensive and no money to buy and now because of blabulu s tupidity in floating the ₦,people are now smuggling goods across the border because their currency is stronger/gives higher profit when converted to Naira. I wonder how some of these semi-illiterates became union leaders,dishing out village men ideas. If you want to buy anything in the market,it's available,rice, beans,indomnie,spaghetti,yam,oil,tomato,sugar,salt,cooking gas,water,soft drinks and beverages,etc;the issue is that it's not affordable,stupid! 1 Like |
