Many residents of the Federal Capital Territory , have lamented the increasing cost of Garri and how the staple food is becoming inaccessible to the average Nigerian.
Garri flour that is cooked with hot water is popularly called “Eba” and eaten with different types of soups and stews, while it can also be soaked with either cold or room temperature water and drunk with groundnut, sugar, or milk. Egunor Odafe, a civil servant, said staples such as garri had become too expensive and unaffordable for the average Nigerian.
“This government needs to address the issue of increasing food prices. It has never been this bad. If people can’t afford garri then you know the food situation has become critical, as we can see there is hunger in the land.” Mr Taiwo Hassan, a driver said: “garri is not poor man food anymore. Ijebu garri is now N1,500 for a mudu. So I don’t soak garri like before.”
