Talking inflation on Jasiri
I was on Jasiri a couple of days ago to talk about inflation. Nigeria faced a severe inflation crisis in 2024, with rates reaching a 30-year high of 33.2%. Despite a drop to 24.4% in January 2025, Nigerians are still struggling with high prices for essential goods and services. Factors contributing to inflation include domestic challenges like insecurity and infrastructural issues and geopolitics. The impact is felt across various sectors, including food, transport, and telecoms, with women and girls facing unique economic challenges. Addressing insecurity and improving infrastructure are critical to curbing inflation and improving living conditions in Nigeria.
