Once again, Nigeria faced enormous security and political challenges. Throughout the year, the political and socioeconomic situation was characterised by the country’s slow economic recovery, triggered to a large extent by surging oil and gas prices, as well as by the ongoing Islamist insurgency in the North East, by the precarious situation in the North Central states, and by the widespread and well-organised banditry in most parts of the North West. The persistent high crime rate in almost all 36 federal states and the Federal Capital Territory Abuja played its part in the overall situation of uncertainty. This situation was exacerbated by worsening tensions in the Igbo heartland in the South East where, nevertheless, out-of-cycle gubernatorial elections due in one state were held. The Covid-19 pandemic, however, no longer took centre stage.
