The signs of what to expect in terms of continuous rise in inflation in 2022 showed up during the week when despite repeated appeals by the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), the Federal government has introduced an excise duty of N10/litre on all non-alcoholic, carbonated and sweetened beverages. Currently, a pack of 12 bottles of Coca-Cola goes for N1,500 while Pepsi-Cola is N1,400, while a bottle of each goes for N150. Retailers said the new development might trigger an increase in the retail price of the products, according to Daily Independent.
