Nigeria’s economy is growing. So why doesn’t it feel like it?

GDP reportedly grew by 4.43%. But for many Nigerians, food, transport, electricity and everyday expenses still feel painfully high.
So, is the economy really growing, or are we just looking at the numbers?
In this episode of 'The Shift', we go beyond GDP to ask: Who is this growth for?
Because growth shouldn’t only happen on paper. Nigerians should grow with it.
Watch, think and let us know what you think.

From frustration to surprising perspectives, Nigerians had a lot to say.

“Nigeria is one of Africa’s largest producers of rice grains but also the continent’s largest importer of milled rice”, and although Nigeria restricts the importation of certain prof, evidence shows that some of these goods still enter the country through informal channels.

These are some of the effects of Import Ban. In this episode of The Shift, we discuss how the Import Ban affects us, and offered solutions moving forward.
