The Shenzhen experience ultimately demonstrates that industrial transformation is not accidental. It requires deliberate planning, sustained infrastructure investment, and a long-term economic vision. Africa today stands at a similar crossroads. The continent possesses abundant natural resources, a rapidly growing population, and one of the world’s largest emerging consumer markets. But without functioning infrastructure, industrial ambitions under AfCFTA may remain unrealised.

Our Free Trade fellow, Damilola Aina, analyzed this in his new opinion article. Click here to read more: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/opinion/884892-the-shenzhen-playbook-why-infrastructure-matters-more-than-tax-holidays-by-damilola-aina.html

Youth entrepreneurs own 67 per cent of enterprises in Nigeria, according to ThisDay’s report of 2021. For millions of young Nigerians, entrepreneurship is no longer a matter of ambition or innovation; it is a response to necessity. In the absence of sufficient formal employment opportunities, young people are building small businesses, freelancing, and creating informal income streams simply to get by.

3.4 million Nigerians are unemployed, but that's not even the full picture.

Nigeria's underemployment rate sits at 9.2%, meaning millions more have jobs that don't pay enough, don't use their skills, or don't offer enough hours to live comfortably.

On this episode of The Shift, we break down the factors driving Nigeria's employment crisis, from slow economic growth and poor industrial expansion to limited access to quality education and policies that discourage investment.

Because having a job matters, but having a job that lets you live with dignity matters even more.

The government collects VAT on the things we buy, fuel levies on petrol, and taxes from salaries every month… but are Nigerians truly seeing the impact?

We hit the streets with one big question:

“is Taxation theft?"

The responses were honest, undiluted, and thought-provoking

₦20 trillion!

That is land, assets and savings that Nigerians own, but cannot use. Not because they lack ambition, not because they lack resources, but because the infrastructure to protect what they have isn't there yet.

This is not a poverty story, this is a policy story. And it's one worth understanding.
