December 22, 2020


Blueprint (Nigeria) published an article on how Nigeria might have another pandemic-related lockdown in its future. Nigeria has in the last few days seen resurgence in Covid-19 infection cases across the country. IFPRI-Nigeria states that “In our own case, the scale has since tipped against the economy, and the hunger virus is ravaging the populace.” The office goes on to say that “the six-week lockdown between April and May this year have zapped $16 billion loss to our GDP.”
