E.A.R.T.H. Webinar Series | Session 4.0: The Everyday Economy of Nigeria

Session 04 of the E.A.R.T.H. Webinar Series looks at a question many Nigerians are asking right now: if the economy is growing, why doesn't it feel like it? Recent reforms, changes to subsidies, new tax rules, and rising government revenue have produced real numbers on paper. But for many households, daily life hasn't gotten easier. This session steps back from the headlines to ask how these decisions actually get made, who they're meant to help, and why growth at the national level doesn't always reach the average Nigerian home. Over a focused 45-minute conversation, our speakers will unpack what's really behind subsidy changes and tax reforms, why government and citizens often seem to be talking about two different economies, and what closing that gap would actually require.
