What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The National Economic Council, chaired by Kashim Shettima, endorsed a 90-day economic action plan aimed at easing the cost of living and improving food affordability in Lagos. The plan includes a joint federal-state financing framework to expand the use of Compressed Natural Gas and electric vehicles. This framework directs authorities to ensure savings from cheaper fuels translate into lower transport fares for commuters.

The plan addresses rising household feeding costs, as meat prices in Lagos recently rose to between N9,000 and N10,000 per kilogramme. The measures cover five priorities, including food affordability, tax harmonization, and removing investment bottlenecks.
