Rising food prices, inflation causing malnutrition, obesity - UI VC declares

Adebowale made this declaration during a stakeholder meeting held within the university campus.

Adebowale has, however, said that an increment in the prices of food items is having negative consequences on the lives of many Nigerians, especially low-income earners. He declared that diet-related non-communicable diseases are on the increase because many people cannot afford to purchase food items due to inflation.

Adebowale said: “People experiencing poverty are disproportionately affected by rising food prices and rising inflation, such people are forced to employ coping strategies such as skipping meals, reducing the amount they eat, preparing meals with fewer nutritious foods, and buying cheaper, food options.
