Food Inflation: Governors Move Against Illegal Checkpoints, Excessive Taxes.
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has identified illegal checkpoints, multiple taxation, and poor infrastructure as major factors driving up the cost of food and livestock transportation across the country
This position was made known in a communiqué issued at the end of the Forum’s third meeting for 2025, held on Wednesday night and read by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
During the meeting, the governors received a detailed briefing from the national security adviser (NSA) who was accompanied by the ministers of defence, agriculture, livestock development, and transportation.
The officials presented findings that showed how various actors’ proliferation of unauthorised roadblocks and extortion along transportation corridors has contributed significantly to food price inflation and inefficiencies in the supply chain.
