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

Buhari stated this on Wednesday in Lagos during the South-West Regional Air Transportation Summit, 2024, with the theme, ‘Repositioning the Nigeria aviation industry for financial capability and economic viability’, hosted by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority.
