The World Bank said the country’s surging inflation and rising prices had pushed an estimated seven million Nigerians below poverty line in 2020. This rise in the food index was caused by increases in prices of Bread, Cereals, Milk, Cheese, Eggs, Fish, Soft drinks, Coffee, Tea and Cocoa, Fruits, Meat, Oils and fats, and Vegetables.
