The directive comes amidst a significant increase in food prices, exacerbating the challenges of rising inflation In January, inflation surged to 29.90%, with food inflation reaching 35.41%, reflecting the growing economic strain on Nigerians. The escalating food prices have sparked protests across the country, highlighting the urgency of addressing food scarcity and economic hardship.
During a meeting with the 36 state governors on Thursday, President Tinubu emphasized the need to curb profiteering by merchants and ensure fair distribution of food supplies. He urged governors to adopt strategies similar to those implemented by the Kano state government to tackle hoarding for profit.
In a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Tinubu’s directive underscored the importance of monitoring warehouses holding food items nationwide. The President instructed relevant security agencies, including the Inspector-General of Police, the National Security Adviser, and the Department of State Services, to take decisive action against hoarding and profiteering.
Tinubu’s proactive approach aims to alleviate the burden of food scarcity on Nigerians and promote equitable access to essential commodities. By combating hoarding and ensuring fair distribution, the government seeks to mitigate the impact of rising food prices on citizens’ livelihoods and well-being.

Bwala spoke during an interview on Arise Television, where he addressed questions about the video and the current performance of the power sector under the Tinubu administration.
He said the president’s statement should be viewed within the context of his ongoing first term, stressing that it is too early to judge promises tied to a possible second term.
According to him, the administration has already begun implementing reforms in the power sector, including policy decisions and new legislative measures aimed at improving electricity supply.
He maintained that progress is ongoing and that the focus should be on what has been achieved so far rather than expectations for future electoral outcomes.
Bwala added that Nigerians will ultimately decide at the appropriate time whether the president deserves another term based on his overall performance.
“The president has not even come to the point of second term. We are still in the first term, and reforms are ongoing, including new laws and sectoral changes,” he said.
He further argued that the electorate will make their judgment when the time comes, based on the results delivered by the administration.
