Nigeria's Productivity Boost: Unlocking Economic Expansion and Job Creation
Nigeria's economy is slowly recovering from a recession, with a 2 percent growth rate in 2019. The main drivers of growth are services like telecoms, while agriculture and manufacturing face challenges. To boost economic expansion and create more jobs, key priorities include making policies transparent, investing in infrastructure and education, reducing regulatory discretion, and improving access to finance. These steps can help Nigeria become more competitive and attract more investments outside the oil sector.
