World Bank Report States That 40% Of Nigerians Suffered Job Losses During COVID-19 Lockdown



The World Bank on Thursday, July 16, revealed that around 42% of Nigeria’s workforce lost their jobs between March and June following the shutdown of the economy in the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak.








This disclosure was made by Ahmed Rostom, Senior Financial Sector Specialist, World Bank, at the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) Webinar Series’ virtual knowledge-sharing series titled ‘Risk Sharing: A Key Driver for Increased Financial Access and Economic Development for MSMEs.’

Rostom presented data from surveys executed by the World Bank between April and June 2020 on the economic growth constraints as well as the impact of COVID-19 in the country.

42 percent of persons working before March 2020, particularly those in the hospitality and service industry, are out of a job, Rostom said.

Panelists also acknowledged that Credit Guarantees Schemes were notable policy documents; created to alleviate credit constraints confronting Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME).

  2. No statistic from Nigeria can be trusted.
    To be fair, just multiply it by two and that's close to it.
    The government don't care.

  4. Yes Stella. You are right. I remember the young man that committed suicide because he had plans to get married the next month and lost his job. I just pray that this Npower stuff works out. It would really put a smile on some of our faces

  8. True even dangote that the profit after task this year is greater than last year despite the lockdown sacked 30% of his staffs, he just see opportunity to cut down, and to me its a wicked acts, he should have asked the non Nigerians to leave,those ones are the ones rippling off the company, they earn in dollars going into millions of naira without doing much, most of them hold certificate equivalent to school cert here,

  12. I quite disagree with this figure. What percentage of Nigerian working population are in private hospitality and tourism? I Agree that millions of businesses must have been negatively impacted especially schools amd other SME but to sit down and say 42% is a lie because we don't just have that database.
