Looking through recession and its effect on common Nigerian

It’s no longer news that Nigeria is fully in economic recession. The situation that is been described as the lowest economic performance in about 25 years with over four million jobs lost in one year. Experts who spoke to Business247 News Online have also said that it may take about three years to overcome it. Our in-house analysts, while speaking with some industry experts, therefore, writes on what it means to the common Nigerians and as a way forward to its economic needs.

Frontline economist and Chief Executive Officer of Financial Derivates Limited, Bismarck Rewane ,  reportedly  said recently that it was long obvious that the country was in recession. “The challenge is that the recession was deeper than we thought,” he said.

Rewane’s statement is in line with the data released, after much hesitation by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) that the Federal Government could no longer continue to live a lie about the true state of the economy.

Similarly, the Deputy Managing Director of Afrinvest, Victor Ndukauba said the NBS report was expected. “There were no surprises; it was actually expected the GDP would have contracted further than announced based on what was happening in the economy.”

Under the circumstances, he said “there are no silver bullets; the only solution is for the government to spend its way out on infrastructure investments – education, healthcare, power, transportation, etc.”  According to Ndukauba, it may take up to three years before Nigeria can come out of the recession.

But, more worrisome is the depth of the recession, with the GDP declining at -2.06 per cent, more than the expected growth for the entire year at 1.8 per cent, as projected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

According to the bureau, the GDP dipped by 1.70 per cent points from the negative growth rate of -0.36 per cent recorded in the first quarter, and also lowered by 4.41 per cent points from the growth rate of 2.35 per cent recorded in the corresponding quarter of 2015.

Nigeria has recorded a negative Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate for two consecutive quarters in 2016, thus officially indicating a recessed economy, as the NBS released the second quarter economic report.

In his preface to the Q2 Economic Report, Statistician-General, Dr. Yemi Kale said: “The key attribute of Quarterly National Accounts (QNA) is that they provide a reasonable level of detail of the economy that helps government to assess, analyse, and monitor economic growth on a regular basis.”

Business247 News Online gathered that  the severe drop in crude oil prices, decline in government revenue, devaluation of the naira and surging inflation rates, in addition to the country’s high poverty (70 per cent) and unemployment (12.1per cent) rates have had a detrimental effect on the economic security of most citizens and households.

Analysts predicted that the stagnation may be worse given the crises in the socio-political economy.

For President of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, Prof. Segun Ajibola, “we must go back to the root of the crisis and that is oil economy and pattern of consumption. We are exposed to external shock and it can be tamed as well.”

The Director-General of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Muda Yusuf, admitted that many Nigerians are exploring opportunities in the agric and informal sector because many workers have had their salaries slashed while many are being owed for several months both in the public and private sector.

“This is the time to produce what we need to save the crisis of foreign exchange and dependence on imported items.”

But the Federal Government assured the nation on last week that it was making efforts to tackle the drift.

The assurance came as President Muhammadu Buhari announced a change of the name of the Ministry of Solid Minerals to Ministry of Mines and Steel Development during the Federal Executive Council ‎(FEC) meeting in Abuja.

Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Ade‎osun, who answered questions on the report of the NBS which officially confirmed that Nigeria was in recession, attributed the economic predicament in the country to inadequate investments in capital projects over the years.

Adeosun said the ‎recession of the economy was not an overnight phenomenon but started as far back as six years ago. She said the indices were available for discerning analysts to see as more money was spent on recurrent than on capital infrastructure, which the current administration is striving to correct.

“With the economy’s overdependence on oil earnings, the sharp drop in the commodity’s price only worsened the situation”, she pointed out, assuring however that though Nigeria has a long way to go, the country was “on the right hands‎”.

The minister also announced the FEC’s approval of a three-year rolling external borrowing plan (2016-2018) which will be forwarded for approval by the National Assembly.

  • Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  • 9/27/2016 I’m gratified by the manner in which business247ng.com covers this type of issue. Generally on point, often contentious, consistently well-researched as well as thought-provoking.

  • You made some first rate factors there. I seemed on the internet for the problem and found most people will go along with with your website.

  • Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  • The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
