Nigeria’s Problems

Nigeria as a country is facing a myriad of problems which are militating against its development among the comity of nations. According to the Nigeria citizens survey in 2020, some of the most important problems facing Nigeria today that the government should address are crime and security, unemployment, electricity access, and infrastructure and roads quality. Other challenges of the country also include violence, separatist agitations, abuses by Armed Islamists, accountability for serious crimes, freedom of expression, media, and association, etc. To many Nigerians, instead of the these problems to dissipate, they have continued to escalate at an alarming rate from the time of Tafawa Balewa, the first Prime Minister between 1960 and 1966, to the incumbent President Bola Tinubu, who was sworn in on the 29th of May 2023. This paper presents some of the problems confronting Nigeria and the way forward. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.
