Nigeria's Economic Crisis Is Getting Worse- "the worst is yet to come."

Nigeria continues to suffer from numerous economic headaches, including lower oil prices and the government's controversial foreign-exchange and price-control policies (which analysts have more or less deemed a failure).
Nigerian Bureau of Statistics revealed that the country's economy shrank by 0.4% year-over-year in the first quarter — way worse than expected.
Economists were expecting the country to grow by 1.8% year-over-year, according to the Bloomberg consensus.

And now analysts aren't feeling too good about the situation going forward.

The biggest drop in growth was in Nigeria's manufacturing sector, which Ashbourne wrote was crushed by the country's FX policies.

"This is very bad news for Nigeria's government, which has justified the current FX system as a method of promoting non-oil industries," Ashbourne said. "It is now clear that these policies have — as we'd long argued — made a bad situation worse."
