The National Bureau of Statistics has revealed that Nigeria’s gross domestic product shrunk by six percent in the second quarter of 2020.

This was contained in a report just released by the NBS. The report stated that, Oil GDP contracted by -6.63 percent from 5.06 percent in the first quarter and 5.15 percent in the second of 2019.

The report also stated that, Non-oil GDP also have contracted by -6.05 percent from 1.55 percent in the first quarter of 2020 and 1.64 percent in the second quarter of 2019.

This is the first time in three years that Nigeria’s economy will record a negative growth after its exit from the 2016 recession.

The report further stated that “the decline was largely attributable to significantly lower levels of both domestic and international economic activity during the quarter, which resulted from nationwide shutdown efforts aimed at containing the COVID-19 pandemic,”

“The domestic efforts ranged from initial restrictions of human and vehicular movement implemented in only a few states to a nationwide curfew, bans on domestic and international travel, closure of schools and markets etc., affecting both local and international trade”.

“The efforts, led by both the federal and state governments, evolved over the course of the quarter and persisted throughout.”
