Nigeria's GDP saw its steepest drop in 1999, marking the country's transition to civilian rule with Olusegun Obasanjo and Olu Falae running for president.
Over the years, Nigeria's economy has fluctuated, peaking in 2014. Despite stable population growth, recent economic dips underscore ongoing challenges.
When Olusegun Obasanjo took office in 1999, the exchange rate was ₦97 to $1; it was ₦128 under Yar'Adua in 2007. During Jonathan's tenure in 2010 it was ₦151 while it was ₦199 when Buhari was in office.
Despite efforts to let market forces decide the rate, the naira continues to weaken. Will the current administration turn things around soon?
