  "summary": "The National Economic Council (NEC) has endorsed a 90-day economic action plan proposed by the Federal Ministry of Finance to alleviate the cost of living in Nigeria. The plan focuses on reducing the cost of living, improving food affordability, attracting investment, and accelerating the delivery of projects that directly benefit Nigerians. The endorsement comes after a presentation by the Minister of Finance, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, during the NEC's 161th meeting chaired by Vice-President Kashim Shettima. The action plan identifies five priority areas: food affordability, tax harmonisation, completion of high-impact projects, resolution of investment bottlenecks, and regulated household support.",
