With over 4-5 million new entrants into the Nigerian job market annually, the current unemployment crisis is reaching alarming proportions. The National Bureau of Statistics reported a rise in the national unemployment rate from 23.1% in 2018 to 33.3% in 2020. These figures are projected to increase even further, with KPMG estimating the unemployment rate to reach a staggering 37.7% in 2022 and 40.6% in 2023. Furthermore, the report predicts that by 2024, the unemployment rate could soar to a staggering 43%.
In 2024, Nigeria is expected to see about 26.5 million people grappling with high levels of food insecurity, as disclosed by the Government of Nigeria and its partners during the unveiling of the October 2023 Cadre Harmonisé analysis on food insecurity.
Moreover, approximately 9 million children are at risk of suffering from acute malnutrition or
wasting. Of these, an alarming 2.6 million children could face Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and require critical nutrition treatment.
