Millions in Nigeria are struggling to buy food, fuel and medicine as the country faces its worst economic crisis in a generation.
The country’s decline has been sharp: Two years ago, Nigeria was Africa’s biggest economy; this year, it is set to fall to fourth.
The crisis is believed to be rooted in the removal of some fuel subsidies and the devaluation of the currency — two changes set down by a president elected 15 months ago.
Punishing inflation means poverty rates are expected to rise even higher.
