CONTEST MARKDOWN STYLE 6th: FOOD PRICES IN NIGERIA

Food prices have been a thing of constant worry recently for many African countries, the Covid crisis from last year affected a lot of sectors including the Agricultural sector which is one of the most important part of a nation.

NIGERIA 🇳🇬

If you're a Nigerian the current economical situation of the country shouldn't be a thing of surprise any longer.
Nigerians were already struggling with a crippling economy due to insurgency which is mainly situated in the northern part of the country.

Nigeria is a country which depends heavily on crudeoil, this crude oil comes from the Niger Delta region, but most of the agricultural production is done in the Northern part of the country. This is an area that is plagued with the problem of insurgency from the popular BOKOHARAM SECT.

The Nigerian military has said it a number of times that

"the fight against insurgency has been technically won".

So apart from the already worrisome problem of insurgency, Covid 19 was a huge hit on the economy. It affected the crude oil prices and directly and indirectly the agricultural production.
