In a recent tweet, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, revealed that food inflation in Nigeria has significantly decreased.

He cited a report by TheCable, which stated that the prices of a basket of tomatoes have dropped from N150,000 to N60,000 due to new harvests.

According to the report, traders in Ketu and Berger markets confirmed the new prices. A trader at Ketu market said, "A big basket of tomatoes is currently selling for about N55,000 to N60,000, down from an average of N150,000 a few months ago."

Another trader in Ketu market added, "A small basket of tomatoes now costs between N20,000 and N25,000."
