How high prices’re degrading quality of food Nigerians eat

Rising food prices in Nigeria are forcing households to reduce portions, skip meals, and buy smaller quantities. Mothers like Adebimpe Olatunji and Patricia describe the struggle to feed their families, while teachers report students coming to school without food. Meanwhile, the federal government warns of a food safety crisis: unsafe food causes 50 million illnesses and 53,000 deaths annually, mostly among children under five.
