#NigeriaToday: What economic problems does Nigeria have?

Nigeria has unclean drinking water and desertification, the desertification is becasue the livestock eats the grass and the sand from the Sahara blow over so the grass can't grow anymore.

There are several economic issues facing Nigeria today. Their economy in general is not stable because of the planning from the government. One issue is the fact that the revenue resulting from the capital-intensive oil sector, is not put to good use to help the economy, which would explain the poor conditions Nigeria faces.

Another economic issue is the loss of arable land. Arable land is land that can be used to grow crops. The plowing of arable land and production of crops contributes greatly to Nigeria's exports. The loss of this land in return affects greatly the GDP and revenue from exports that Nigeria receives.

Insufficient government revenue is invested in infrastructural development, the road system is extremely

poor in some areas (prohibiting growth and expansion), while constant electrical supply is a continual problem.

Oil-rich Nigeria, long hobbled by political instability, corruption, inadequate infrastructure, and poor macroeconomic management, is undertaking some reforms under a new reforms-minded administration.
