Nigeria Rated "Critical" on 2025 Instability Risk Index by SBM Intelligence
Nigeria has been classified as "Critical" on the 2025 Instability Risk Index by SBM Intelligence, scoring 52 out of 100. The report highlights persistent economic fragility, widespread insecurity, and increasing poverty as key factors contributing to Nigeria's high-risk status.
Factors such as inflation, removal of petrol subsidies, exchange rate reforms, and fiscal tightening have led to hardships for citizens and businesses. The analysis also mentions ongoing policy reforms and the need for fiscal discipline to prevent total economic collapse.
Nigeria's ranking places it among vulnerable African countries, with other nations like Congo Brazzaville, Chad, and Zambia also facing challenges. Despite gradual institutional reforms, Nigeria's political divisions and the upcoming 2023 elections continue to impact governance efficiency and national cohesion.
