We are delighted to announce that the Geopolitical Risk (GPR) Index for Nigeria has been updated to include data for 2025. The index was developed by one of CEAR’s Fellows, Afees Salisu, in collaboration with his team members, Salisu Subair and Sulaiman Salisu.
The authors developed the first geopolitical risk index for Nigeria, driven by a multitude of social and political events occurring in the country. They argued that insurgent attacks in the North-East, banditry in the North-West, and the farmer-herder conflicts in the South-West and the Middle Belt/North-Central regions have heightened socio-political tensions in Nigeria. They assessed the predictability of the index by analyzing its relationship with Nigeria’s currency and stock markets.
