Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has fleshed out the details of a raft of measures to tackle the rising cost of living, which has prompted civil unrest and looting.

In a televised address to the nation, Mr Tinubu said he had ordered the release of 200,000 tonnes of grain from strategic reserves.

He also promised to increase the minimum wage, encourage more and better-paid jobs and financial help for the farming, manufacturing and smaller business sectors.
