An eminent journalist and Head of PR Nigeria has revealed how insecurity is contributing to soaring food prices across the country.
Malam Yushau Shuaib made the revelation on his Facebook page when he went to buy millet for his pigeons in an Abuja market.
He stated as follows “I am at the Utako Market Abuja to buy millets for the birds (pigeons). It was N250 for a ‘Mudu’ just last Month June 30. The same ‘Mudu’ is N500 today July 21, 2021.
I shout at the seller, who is also a Northerner.
The man simply replies that “Most of our brothers who are farmers are either attacked, abducted, or afraid to go farms because of insecurity. Almost all other food produces have gone up too!”
