Nigeria Officially Enters into Recession, Worst Since 1987
Nigeria has entered recession again, the worst economic decline in almost four decades.
Figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Saturday reveal that Nigeria is officially in a Recession. The nation has recorded a contraction of 3.62 percent in the third quarter of 2020.

The last time Nigeria recorded such cumulative GDP was in 1987, when GDP declined by 10.8 percent. The nation’s inflation rate is currently astronomic evidenced by the high prices of commodities in the market.
This is the country’s second under the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
