CPPE Warns of Economic Impact of U.S. Military Threat on Nigeria

The Centre for Promoting Private Enterprise (CPPE) highlighted the economic risks for Nigeria following U.S. President Donald Trump's military threat.

Dr. Muda Yusuf, CPPE's Director, outlined the potential consequences such as capital flight, weakening of the Naira, and financial market instability.

The threat could lead to investor uncertainty, project cancellations, and redirection of investments to other regions. CPPE urged the Nigerian government to prioritize security and defense in the face of security challenges driven by various conflicts.

They advised diplomatic engagement with the U.S. to clarify intelligence collaboration and counterterrorism strategies to reassure investors and stabilize the region.
