Ghanas Energie-Fahrplan: Übergang zu nachhaltigen Systemen (EN)
Summary
The document argues that Nigeria's insecurity is primarily driven by economic failure, poverty, and the rent-seeking practices of the political elite. It details regional security threats—ranging from jihadist violence in the North-East to oil theft in the South-South—and links them to a lack of state capacity, evidenced by failed infrastructure projects and mismanagement of COVID-19 relief. The author contends that high unemployment (33%) and multidimensional poverty (affecting 63% of the population) create a cycle where poverty drives crime, which in turn discourages investment. The paper concludes that without a shift toward selfless leadership and growth-oriented policies, the 2023 elections are unlikely to break this cycle of instability.
Key insights
- There is a direct correlation between poverty and insecurity in Nigeria, with the poorest regions, specifically the North-East and North-West, being the most insecure.
- Multidimensional poverty affects 133 million Nigerians, representing 63 percent of the population, with children making up more than half of this group.
