The Take It Back Movement in Delta State has urged Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to intervene and engage with market leaders and stakeholders to reduce the cost of food items.<\/p>\n

The State Coordinator of the Movement, Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho made the call in a statement signed and made available to DAILY POST.<\/p>\n

The group asked the governor to implement policies to stabilize food prices as well as subsidize essential food items for low-income families.<\/p>\n

It also appealed to the governor to support local farmers to increase food production and establish food banks and relief programs to alleviate the suffering of vulnerable residents.<\/p>\n

Take It Back, in the statement, expressed the belief that with the governor\u2019s intervention, food can be made available and affordable for Deltans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can make food affordable for all Deltans. We await swift action to address this critical issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Take It Back said the call became necessary now as soaring prices of garri, beans, and other essentials have left residents starving.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Delta Take It Back movement is sounding the alarm on the devastating impact of skyrocketing prices of garri, beans, and other staple foods on residents of Delta State.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are calling on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to take immediate and decisive action to address this crisis, as many Deltans are now struggling to access necessities.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Aghogho, \u201cThe prices of garri, beans, and other essentials have risen exponentially in recent months, making it difficult for ordinary citizens to afford food.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of the 23rd of June, a bag of garri now costs \u20a674,000, a bag of beans costs \u20a6185,000 and 25 litres of palm oil costs \u20a632,000. This situation is unsustainable and demands the governor\u2019s prompt intervention.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamilies are going hungry, with many unable to afford even one meal a day. Children are malnourished, and their health and well-being are at risk, small businesses are struggling to stay afloat, threatening the livelihoods of many.\u201d<\/p>\n
