Former Minister Warns of Growing Military Coup Threat in Nigeria
Former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, has raised concerns about the increasing risk of military coups in Nigeria, citing the recent military takeover in Niger Republic as a worrisome development. He highlighted the negative impact of coups on security, economic progress, and social stability, with inflation at a low of four percent in the region.
Chidoka noted a rise in extreme poverty, food prices, and Nigeria defaulting on debt repayments, leading to a forecasted halving of growth. The situation is rapidly deteriorating, with a significant number of people requiring humanitarian aid.
