I was asked to share my opinion on how the Federal Government should cushion the economic impact of the US–Israel–Iran conflict, featured in the Vanguard newspaper yesterday.
Nigeria must respond to the US-Israel-Iran conflict with empathy and transparency. Government should clarify that global trends drive fuel prices while reassuring citizens that oil revenue will shield households from inflation. Proactive, people-centered interventions and consistent communication are vital to prevent panic, manage expectations and shift the narrative from vulnerability to preparedness, driving long-term economic reform.
