What happened
Minister Mohammed Idris defended the federal government’s economic reforms, citing declining inflation and stronger external reserves as signs of economic progress. Separately, Minister John Enoh announced 'Project Wheat-ness,' an initiative to strengthen Nigeria’s wheat-based foods value chain, noting that flour mills operate at about half capacity despite high national consumption. The Minister attributed industry constraints to rising energy costs, transportation expenses, and global grain market pressures.
