Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, has blamed the country’s current soaring inflation on global issues, claiming that some individuals are using it to play local politics.
Keyamo stated that Nigeria is not isolated from current global issues, warning those who are still considering moving abroad to keep in mind that the country is not isolated from current global issues.
Remember that ‘JAPA,’ a term for moving abroad for better opportunities, has been popular among Nigerians.
He made the announcement via his verified Twitter handle, implying that the massive protests on the streets of Paris, France, over soaring prices were caused by the global crisis.
MASSIVE PROTESTS ON THE STREETS OF PARIS OVER SOARING PRICES. MEANWHILE SOME ARE STILL PLANNING TO ‘JAPA’ ABROAD, AS IF NIGERIA IS IN ISOLATION FROM PRESENT GLOBAL ISSUES. SOME WHO KNOW THE ISSUES ARE ALSO DECEIVING NIGERIANS AND PLAYING LOCAL POLITICS WITH GLOBAL ISSUES pic.twitter.com/d7lcAUIJW9
