Recession hardship escalates: Prices of basic items still rising

A lot of Nigerians crossed over to 2016 with great expectations, most especially as a new government just took over leadership. At the beginning, things were a bit rosy until the sudden wind of change blew across the country, leaving behind devastating effects. Ratee of dollar against naira jerked up, prices of commodities skyrocketed, price of fuel pump skyrocketed too. Nigerians have not yet come to terms with the resultant effect, companies relocated outside the country, mass sack across different sectors. Day in day out prices of communities have witnessed almost a 100 percent increment and became unaffordable for the masses.
