Why it matters
The lack of reliable infrastructure and logistics means that productive capacity in Nigeria remains idle and jobs are uncreated. The report argues that for Nigeria's economic expansion to succeed, growth must become achievable for viable enterprises across all states.
The National Bureau of Statistics is currently reporting on the state of the Nigerian economy.
