Are We There Yet?

Abstract: If we are to go by two consecutive quarters of negative growth to declare a country of plumping into recession, then at five consecutive quarters, Nigeria can be considered to be in depression. Meanwhile, the Q2 2017 GDP result reported by the National Bureau of Statistics is like a beautifully wrapped Christmas gift. The true value can only be revealed and appreciated after the unwrapping of the gift. Thus, this empirical analysis is aimed at dissecting the Nigerian economic performance. It is meant to prove whether the economy has truly exited recession. This study concludes by giving recommendations on what government should be doing to truly improve the wellbeing of the citizens and truly get the country out of recession.
