The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, says President Bola Tinubu’s government inherited the rising prices of food and general commodities from the previous administration but is doing what it can to bring down the prices of food as well as the soaring inflation rate in the country.
The finance minister stated this on Tuesday at the Public Wealth Management Conference in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The minister of finance said that the Federal Government was not unware of the sufferings of Nigerians as measures have been put in place to alleviate their sufferings.
The interventions, according to him, include the release of forty two thousand metric tons of grains and another sixty thousand metric tons expected to be released soon.
