petrol subsidy removal

Nigeria is projected to see a severe hunger crisis next year, with over 30 million people facing food insecurity—a 33% increase from this year—due to economic challenges, according to a government and UN report as seen by CNBCAfrica. Economic hardship has intensified following austerity reforms by President Bola Tinubu, including currency devaluation and the removal of a longstanding petrol subsidy, contributing to rising inflation and a cost-of-living crisis.
