Understanding these cycles and developments in relation to other earlier-stage frontier and emerging markets gives context to the investment risks and opportunities that present themselves.

Nigeria has also had a stall in some key policy reforms, particularly as the government in its second term has not really committed on infrastructure, subsidy removals and growth initiatives.
