The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has formally attributed the escalating poverty and hunger crisis in Nigeria to the economic policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
The opposition party is calling for an immediate shift in government strategy to address the deteriorating living conditions across the country.
The political challenge comes as new data from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) indicates that more than 17 million Nigerians are currently facing acute hunger.

The ADC has leveraged these figures to intensify its criticism of the current government’s economic management, arguing that existing measures have failed to protect vulnerable populations.
This development adds to a growing list of pressures facing the Tinubu administration.
A coalition of concerned Nigerians has recently called for a state of emergency in the healthcare sector, citing worsening manpower shortages, decaying infrastructure, and declining access to essential services.
