Nigeria's Chief Whip of the Senate, Ali Ndume, has expressed concern over rising costs of living and food scarcity, stating that the federal government's inability to address these issues is a major challenge. Ndume also claimed that some ministers cannot meet with President Bola Tinubu to discuss these matters, as the government's doors are reportedly closed. The lawmaker spoke shortly after co-sponsoring a motion with another senator to address food crisis in the country, as the World Food Programme warns that 82 million Nigerians are at risk of food insecurity in the next five years.
