Lagos
What next for Nigeria? Toyosi Ogunseye is joined by politicians for a debate in Lagos.
Nigeria is one of the world’s largest oil producers, but national infrastructure, youth unemployment and insecurity are huge challenges for its civilian government. Jihadist attacks and separatist movements threaten to tear the country apart and despite being the biggest economy south of the Sahara, extreme poverty is very high. What next for Nigeria?
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Toyosi Ogunseye is joined by a panel of leading politicians and opinion formers for a public debate in Lagos, the country’s largest city.
The panel:
Chude Jideonwo, Social Entrepreneur
Dr Abigail Ogwezzy-Ndisika, Professor of Mass Communication, University of Lagos
Joe Igbokwe, Former Lagos State Spokesman of governing APC
Aisha Yesufu, Human Rights Activist
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Questions is a series of international events created in partnership with the British Council.
