ANALYZING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF NATIONWIDE ENDBADGOVERNANCE PROTESTS IN NIGERIA
Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The EndBadGovernance protests that began in Nigeria in July 2024 were a significant manifestation of public dissatisfaction with the government's economic policies and governance. These nationwide protests, driven by grievances related to rising fuel prices, inflation, and other economic hardships, quickly became a focal point of national and international attention. Given the scale of the protests, it is crucial to analyze their economic impact to understand the broader implications for Nigeria's economic stability and growth.
Nigeria's economy has faced numerous challenges, including high inflation rates, unemployment, and a dependence on oil exports. The removal of fuel subsidies, which led to a sharp increase in fuel prices, was a key trigger for the protests. These protests aimed to address these economic issues and demand better governance and economic reforms. Protests of this magnitude can disrupt various aspects of economic activity. These include disruptions to business operations, changes in consumer behavior, impacts on trade and investment, and overall economic performance. Analyzing these impacts provides valuable insights into how political unrest can influence economic conditions. This study focuses on assessing the economic impact of the nationwide EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria. It aims to evaluate both immediate and longer-term effects on economic activities, including business operations, market dynamics, investor confidence, and overall economic performance.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The EndBadGovernance protests led to significant disruptions in Nigeria, but there is a need for a comprehensive analysis of their economic impact. The problem addressed by this study is the lack of detailed understanding regarding how the protests affected various economic aspects, such as business operations, market stability, and investor confidence.
The study aims to provide a thorough assessment of these impacts, offering insights into how large-scale protests influence economic conditions and what measures can be taken to mitigate such effects in the future.
