 The House of Representatives has set up a special committee to investigate the skyrocketing prices of foodstuffs and other commodities in the country. This was sequeled to a motion by a member from Ogun State on Rebu Isyaka Ibrahim at Plenary. The lawmaker stated that the prices of commodities across the country have skyrocketed by 100% in the last one year. This, according to him, was largely due to monetary policy, border closure, COVID-19 containment measures, as well as insecurity. In the country today, it is not far first because life has become increasingly difficult for many Nigerians, especially the low income earners, the unemployed youth, vulnerable people, those on fixed incomes, such as the pensioners and others. The committee can look at what has informed increase in prices plus inflationary increase in our nation and other issues. And also those who participate in that investigative hearing will be those captains of industry. So you don't really need to put it in the prayer. So my prayer is that only one should stay while the other ones are deleted. Since we don't have anything like price control, because government has not given the right frame and environment for industry and production to try, I don't think we have any businesses that we want to investigate. What are we investigating? Every common man on the street knows the reason. Where you are consuming and you are not producing. Where you are importing and you are not exporting. Mr. Speaker, I think what we should be looking at is to see how we can increase our internal production to be self-sustaining even if we cannot export to other countries. This government has done a lot of interventions in terms of interventions in the agriculture. But the issue is whether those interventions have gone to the right people or to the right place is another thing that this motion will look at it and bring out the anomalies in it. And then also we have the COVID-19 which has added to the problem not only in Nigeria, all over the world.
