As the 2023 elections draw closer by the day, conversation around the economy is expected to dominate and feature prominently on the political agenda. From worsening macroeconomic fundamentals, unemployment, multi-dimensional poverty, inflation, hunger among others, Nigeria’s fragile economy continues to have significant impact on individuals, businesses, and even government.
According to the Debt Management Office DMO, Nigeria’s total debt stock is expected to rise to N77 trillion by May 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, Nigeria will undergo another civilian-to-civilian transition of political power by May 2023. The implication is that the next government would be inheriting a high debt stock.
Already, the non-oil sector has continued to show promises and great prospect. In 2022, for example, the total revenue from oil as at November 2022, was N586 billion while the non-oil revenue had contributed N2.09 trillion, within the same period. The question has always been whether government can see this potential and if there is the political will to institute necessary reforms that are required to reposition the sector. What is however certain is that, either the local or cross border movement of goods, Nigeria has the capacity to translate its land, geography, demography and huge market to become a global leader in the logistics value chain.
In 2021, for instance, Nigeria’s total imports was valued at N20.84 trillion, while exports totaled N18.91 trillion, resulting in N1.94 trillion , trade deficit. Trade balance is essential to harness the opportunities in the supply chain industry.
