Nigerian households unable to afford basic food as prices surge despite overall inflation slowdown

Nigerian consumers face a critical affordability crisis where food prices are rising faster than wages and overall inflation metrics suggest, making it impossible for low-to-middle income families to maintain adequate nutrition. Current solutions like price controls and subsidies are failing to address the root cause, leaving families forced to reduce food consumption or go into debt. This creates urgent demand for alternative food sourcing, budgeting tools, or affordable nutrition solutions.
