Nigeria’s rising food costs put family meals under pressure
A Nigerian shopper told Al Jazeera that making a pot of soup now costs more than 10,000 naira, up from 5,000 naira.
Rising food prices are putting greater pressure on household budgets in Nigeria, with the cost of preparing a family meal becoming increasingly difficult for some consumers to absorb.
One Nigerian food shopper told Al Jazeera that making a pot of soup had risen from 5,000 naira to more than 10,000 naira. The shopper said 10,000 naira was now not enough.
The account highlights wider concerns over food-price inflation and cost-of-living pressures in Nigeria. It does not establish that the same increase applies across the country or to all households.
Al Jazeera’s report did not provide a location, a date for the price comparison or independent data verifying the shopper’s account.
