While speaking with Legit.ng, Abdulfatai Khan, a Senior Treasury Associate at Nile University, shared his view on how the outcome of the US election will impact the Nigerian economy:
“The outcome of the US election will likely have an impact on the Nigerian economy, particularly in terms of trade policies and global economic trends. As someone who has been following Nigeria’s economic policies, I can tell you that our economy is heavily influenced by global events, and the US election is no exception. A Trump presidency would likely mean a continuation of his "America-first" approach, which could lead to increased tariffs and trade restrictions. In terms of specific sectors, the US election will likely have an impact on Nigeria's oil and gas industry, as well as our agriculture sector. Overall, I believe that it is essential for our government to be prepared for any eventuality and to develop strategies to mitigate any negative impacts.”
