Nigerians are optimistic that the recent reduction in petrol prices across the country will lead to a drop in the cost of foodstuffs as the festive season approaches.
The price of Premium Motor Spirit, commonly known as petrol, reportedly dropped by ₦36 per litre in the last week, offering a glimmer of hope to consumers burdened by rising costs of goods and services.
Petrol prices directly impact transportation costs, which constitute a significant portion of the expenses incurred in moving food items from farms to markets.
With reduced transport costs, many Nigerians are hopeful that traders will transfer the benefits of cheaper logistics to consumers by lowering food prices. 
As the festive season draws near, markets across Nigeria are bustling with activities. However, traders and consumers alike are still waiting to see if the petrol price reduction will reflect on staple food prices such as rice, beans, yam, and tomatoes.
