      <video:description><![CDATA[Research by SBM Intelligence shows that the cost of preparing popular West African meal, Jollof rice in Nigeria dropped marginally by 3.17 per cent to nearly 27 thousand naira. While in Ghana, a pot of jollof rice rose to 430 cedis, a 2.56 per cent increase in the third quarter of this year. The research notes that combination of unresolved insecurity and heightened festive season demand in the fourth quarter will likely trigger a significant rebound in the Jollof Index. SBM further notes that policy success in Ghana remains geographically limited, exposing a severe issue of regional inflation inequality.
