Hauwa Indimi-Yar’adua, the daughter of billionaire oil entrepreneur Mohammed Indimi, has expressed concern about growing food prices in the country.
Taking to her verified Instagram account, the cosmetologist shared a photo of a small basket of tomatoes she purchased in Abuja for N8,000, adding that she is “still not over it yet.”
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, due to the increased cost of tomatoes, several housewives in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, have ceased using them for stew and other sauces.
Furthermore, some people admitted to creating stew with garden eggplants and carrots. Garden eggs, known as ‘ganyen gauta’ in Hausa, ‘igba’ in Yoruba, and ‘anyara’ in Igbo, were said to blend as well as tomatoes with rice.
Others stated that they were experimenting with pumpkin, pawpaw, or traditional soups such as white soup and palm fruit soup, also known as banga, instead of tomato stew.
