Nigeria grapples with economic turmoil as inflation soars to 34.2%, the highest in 28 years, driven by food shortages and a weakening naira (₦1,650/$1). Meanwhile, nationwide protests erupt over prolonged fuel scarcity and electricity blackouts, with labor unions threatening a general strike. Insecurity persists as bandit attacks escalate in the Northwest, displacing thousands.
