EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF THE ENDBADGOVERNANCE PROTEST ON RETAIL BUSINESS IN NIGERIA
Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The EndBadGovernance protests, which erupted in Nigeria in July 2024, were driven by widespread dissatisfaction with economic conditions and governance. As with many large-scale protests, the EndBadGovernance movement had significant repercussions on various sectors of the economy, including retail businesses. These businesses, ranging from small local shops to large chain stores, experienced disruptions that affected their operations, revenue, and overall stability. Retail businesses are often highly sensitive to social and political unrest. Protests can lead to disruptions in supply chains, damage to property, changes in consumer behavior, and alterations in the economic environment. Understanding how these impacts played out during the EndBadGovernance protests provides valuable insights into the broader effects of social movements on the retail sector.
Examining the impact of the EndBadGovernance protests on retail businesses is crucial for understanding how such movements can influence economic activities and business operations. This study aims to shed light on the specific challenges faced by retailers, their responses to the protests, and the longer-term effects on the industry. This study focuses on evaluating the impact of the EndBadGovernance protests on retail businesses in Nigeria, exploring how these businesses were affected and how they responded to the disruptions caused by the protests.

This study seeks to provide insights into the extent of the impact on retail businesses, the nature of the disruptions experienced, and the responses and adaptations made by retailers.
