This article talks about the creations in jobs in Nigeria, and how that influenced the initiative for a better future and a better living standard. Also, women are mentioned to having more jobs and more jobs created for them, resulting in a development. Even though this is a big step, there are a lot of sectors that need aid, which do not only include employment.

The Nigerian government is trying to protect its local industries, and to do this, it is planning to implement more flexible trade policies. For example, the article talks about how for one period, tariffs will be capped at 4% rather than 2.5%, this gives the government more flexibility, so that it can adequately judge the needs of its industries.

What I like about this article is not just that it's related to inflation (which is definitely a plus) but that it also discuss one of the factors of an economy affected by inflation, interest rates. This is very important because many articles will talk about how inflation has increased or decreased and how this is good or bad for the economy, but they don't explain in what way. You all get a sense for how the government of Nigeria intends to react to this inflationary event and what role the control of interest rates plays in the reaction.
