Tinubu Aware of Rising Food Prices, Says Presidency

Dr Abiodun Essiet, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement in the North-Central region, stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is informed about the rising costs of essential commodities, including eggs and bread, in Nigeria. Speaking to State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Essiet emphasized that the President receives regular updates on the economic difficulties faced by Nigerians through community engagement activities and briefings from members of the Federal Executive Council.

She asserted that it is incorrect to assume that only journalists understand the economic challenges confronting ordinary Nigerians, as officials also communicate these concerns directly to the President. Essiet specifically addressed questions regarding Tinubu's awareness of food prices, confirming that he is regularly briefed on such matters.

She also mentioned infrastructure development, citing the planned reconstruction of the Mokwa-Bida road in Niger State, which has been a longstanding demand from residents due to its deteriorating condition.
