Was "Nigeria addresses cost of living crisis by raising government worker minimum wage, transitioning from fossil fuels, distributing food and fertiliser." too long, not catchy enough, or maybe too incendiary for Reuters?

The article sounds like a lot of different sensible actions are being taken to help the average Nigerian, actions which should also be applied across the West. Like paying workers more, making sure they have access to reliable food sources and transitioning away from fossil fuel reliance.

It's like Reuters wants to focus on the bowl of grain at an open-air market photo and make the policies sound "primitive" or something. They buried the union action and government negotiations right down the bottom of the article.
