Nigerians go to the polls on 25th February for general elections which could put the country on a very different path. Will the outcome of the vote end years of economic mismanagement and usher in a wave of pro-market reforms, or does it threaten more of the same? And what will regime change mean for Nigeria’s oil industry?
Economists from our Africa and Commodities teams held a special online briefing about Nigeria’s election and what it could mean for the country’s near and long-term economic challenges. The team addressed key issues, including:
- Key presidential contenders’ economic policy platforms;
- The state of the economy and the incoming president’s main economic challenges;
- The prospects for a turnaround in Nigeria’s oil industry.
