Nigerians Struggle Under Soaring Prices and Economic Hardship After Subsidy Cuts

Cost of living has soared in Nigeria since subsidy removal, with inflation hitting 30% and prices of goods like food and transport tripling
Government has introduced palliatives like conditional cash transfers, subsidies for farmers and small businesses, but these have not eased hardship
Protests have broken out across Nigeria over high costs, with unions threatening strikes over poor economy
Experts criticize government's policies as inadequate and directionless, say Nigeria must invest in power, agriculture, and engage technocrats
Hardship will get worse without dramatic action, risking unrest and tenants' inability to pay rent due to minimum wage lagging costs
