In spite of being one of the oil-rich countries in Africa and the world, Nigeria continues to wallow in poverty. The West African Country is normally being tagged as one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

Nigeria’s economy has entered a negative growth as confirmed in a new report released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Monday, August 24.The country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted by –6.10 per cent in the second quarter of 2020.The decline was as a result of contraction in domestic and international economic activity during the quarter (April to June 2020).
