NACCIMA calls for measures against rising inflation, food insecurity

Ambassador Ayoola Olukanmi

 

Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), Ambassador Ayoola Olukanmi, said the nation’s inflation figure released by Nigeria Bureau of statistics (NBS), showing a surge from 17.33% recorded in February to 18.17% in March as well as the rising cost of food are not surprising, calling for measures to nib the situation in the bud.

He saiid NACCIMA on several occasions in recent past, has warned that the upward trajectory of inflation is what will happen if  action is not taken to address underlining causes of the inflationary trends.

Most significant in this regard is the issue of insecurity which is spreading across the country and its consequences on agricultural production especially by the small farm holders across  the  food belt of the nation; many of these farmers are either not able to engage in active farming or evacuate their farm produce.

The shortage of forex, depreciation in Exchange rate and huge import bill have also all combined to produce the upward inflationary trend we are witnessing. And steps must be taken by Government to arrest the trend.

In all of these, perhaps most important is the issue of insecurity. Business and productive activities only thrive in a safe and secured environment. An enduring solution must therefore be found to the problems of banditry and other sources of  insecurity across the country.

The current low  productive capacities in various sectors of the economy have also been  due to the recent massive power outages and consequential effect on electricity supply to homes and industries especially SMEs. There is therefore the need to expedite action on the energy component under the Economic Sustainability Plan as part of the strategic options designed  to address the energy crisis.

NACCIMA DG, in a statement he personally signed, said to address  food  inflation there must be significant  improvement in the area of road infrastructure to facilitate movement of farm produce and  goods across the country. This is  to strengthen the food supply chain and reduce cost of transportation from the farm to the market.

He called for more support to the SMEs in the agribusiness sector as they are important in the quest to ensure food security and combat  food inflation, adding that movement of goods within the country should also not be disrupted by incessant roadblocks across our highways, because, according to him, this is another cause for the upsurge in inflation and price increases.

In summary, he said urgent steps must be taken to arrest current inflationary trend if the nation is to build on the recent modest gains and achieve the projected  2.5% economic growth this year.
