What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

In a bid to restore order and cleanliness in the district, authorities at Malaba Town Council have resolved to penalise owners of roaming animals.

This decision was made during a heated council session, prompted by concerns over the increasing number of stray animals causing public nuisance.
