Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has linked Nigeria’s persistent rising inflation to the country’s inability to consistently produce and export goods and services, noting that the trend continues to affect the nation’s economy negatively.
Obaseki said this while receiving representatives from the World Bank led by the organization’s Task Team Leader (TTL) for the Agro-Processing, Productivity Enhancement, and Livelihood Improvement Support (APPEALS) Project in Nigeria, Manievel Emmanuel Sene, who were on a courtesy visit at the Government House, Benin City, the Edo State capital.
Other members of the group at the entourage of the World Bank delegation include the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Hon. Stephen Idehenre; his Permanent Secretary and staff from his Ministry, and the National Project Coordinator Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project (L-PRES) Sanusi Abubakar, among others.
The team is in Benin City for the 3rd World Bank implementation mission.
The governor noted that the greatest problem of Nigeria is that the country is not producing enough for importation with no import buffers.
He said, “Nigerians are in a dire situation and one reason why we are having high food inflation is because of low production as we don’t have any foreign exchange anywhere to substitute with imports. We are not producing enough; that is the greatest problem facing Nigeria.
“Whatever we are producing is very low as a Country and people now don’t have import buffers anymore. When you fly into Countries around the world, from their airspace you will see farm demarcation but the same can’t be said of Nigeria.”

Obaseki, while noting that the state is a hub in the country, said the reforms in the last seven and a half years are geared towards repositioning the state for economic growth and development, ensuring the influx of investors to boost the internally generated revenue.
Obaseki added, “Commercialization is important to us so that when we produce, there is a ready market and linkage of the product to those that need it. I want to know and see those real farmers producing in the State, what they are producing and the size of the market.
“We have people who have invested, but they are not making money not because there is no demand but the capacity and sincerity to go ahead. We have given people money for livestock farming but it failed. It’s not about money again but capacity and sincerity.”
The World Bank Task Team Leader said the Bank focused on three outcomes which include productivity, commercialization and resilience.

A second southern Mexico mayor has been killed in less than a week, local authorities announced Saturday, after he went to visit an indigenous community.
The murder of Acacio Flores, who represents Malinaltepec, comes days after the killing of Salvador Villalba Flores, another mayor from Guerrero state elected in June 2 polls.
The body of Flores was discovered with a bullet wound to the back of the head in the back of a van in Malinaltepec, a human rights campaigner told AFP.

The rights activist had been involved in negotiations to free the politician after he was detained Thursday in an indigenous village.
Guerrero’s public prosecutor said an investigation into aggravated murder had been opened, with a possible land ownership dispute part of the probe.
Since Mexico’s campaign season began last September, around 30 political candidates have been killed, according to Data Civica, a non-governmental organization.
Guerrero, one of the states most affected by drug cartel violence given its location along Mexico’s Pacific coast, recorded 1,890 murders in 2023.

Flights at the UK’s third-busiest airport were being delayed or cancelled Sunday after a major power cut, the airport operator said.
The Manchester Airports Group, which also operates London Stansted and the East Midlands airports, said Manchester Airport had been “affected by a major power cut in the area earlier this morning.”
Power has now been restored at the international airport in the north of England, but passengers due to travel from Terminals One and Two were told to “not come to the airport” as all flights were cancelled “until further notice”.
Passengers for Terminal Three were told to come to the airport as normal, but were warned they “could be affected by delays”.

The airport operator said that while passengers already checked in were scheduled to depart as planned, the disruption meant “some baggage may not be on those flights”.
“We will work with airlines and handling partners to reunite affected passengers with their luggage as soon as possible”, the group added.
The airline Jet2 — which operates from both terminals — said that as well as cancelling dozens of flights, it was unable to load bags onto planes as the airport’s baggage system remained “inoperable”.
Airline easyJet, which operates flights from Terminal One, warned of “very long queues” for security, and said passengers could only board flights with cabin bags.
In addition, some arriving flights were being diverted to other airports according to the airport statement, including London Heathrow and Birmingham.

Some flyers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to describe the “chaos”, with one passenger saying they had been waiting for their bags after landing after midnight and another saying they were “stuck on the plane”.
The UK’s travel industry has been hit by a series of disruptions in the last few years, including technical problems and industrial action affecting rail and air passengers.
Last month, a nationwide outage of immigration e-gates caused long delays for thousands of passengers.
In August last year, the country faced its worst air traffic control disruption in almost ten years due to a technical fault.
