In the lead-up to Nigeria’s 60th Independence Anniversary later in 2020, Awka Times will use occasional charts and other graphics to depict the country’s journey so far, hoping by this to contribute to the national conversation currently focused on how to forge a more perfect Union in Nigeria.
In this second installment of the Awka Times charts, we depict the share of population versus GDP by geopolitical zone as of 2016. The data used for the Awka Times analysis was sourced from Kingmakers which obtained its primary data from the National Bureau of Statistics, National Population Commission, Debt Office Management, Office of The Accountant General of the Federation, among other sources.
The chart tells its own story, and should help with the national conversation pertaining to power sharing and restructuring, as well as economic diversification.
