Nigeria: Election Economics
What are the big economic issues as Nigerians head to the polls in a general election?
What are the big economic issues as Nigerians head to the polls in a general election this weekend? We speak to Dr Obadiah Mailafia, former deputy governor of the Nigerian Central Bank, and we have a special report from Sam Olukoya in Lagos.
Plus, ahead of UK general elections in May, a survey has shown that a large proportion of the general public does not understand economics. We find out how a new film, backed by the actor Terry Jones of Monty Python fame, hopes to change that.
