Nollywood actress and filmmaker Ruth Kadiri has expressed concern over the rising cost of living in Nigeria, saying the current economic situation is becoming increasingly difficult for many citizens.
Kadiri shared her concerns while reflecting on the impact of rising prices on everyday life. According to her, the cost of living has reached a level where even individuals with relatively stable incomes are beginning to feel the strain.
“If someone like me can feel the impact of the current high cost of living in Nigeria, I wonder what average Nigerians are going through. The cost of living is now extremely high,” she said.
The actress’ comments come amid growing concerns over inflation, rising food prices, transportation costs, and other economic pressures facing households across the country.
Her remarks have resonated with many Nigerians who continue to grapple with the increasing cost of basic goods and services. Several public figures and economic analysts have also raised concerns about the effects of rising living expenses on the welfare of citizens.
Kadiri’s statement adds to the growing public discourse on the need for measures aimed at easing economic hardship and improving the standard of living for Nigerians.
As economic challenges persist, many citizens continue to call for policies that will help reduce inflationary pressures and make essential goods and services more affordable.
