Nigerian businesses count losses from inflation and protests

 

Days after hundreds of thousands of people took to the street across Nigeria to protest against inflation and other economic hardships, clothing seller Michael Nwankwo is still counting the cost of the business he lost.
At least 22 people died, according to Amnesty International, in the demonstrations that started on Thursday last week and ebbed over the weekend after a crackdown by security services
Rallies were largely peaceful in the commercial hub of Lagos. But many businesses rolled down the shutters and customers stayed home as a precaution, traders said.
"I don't even really know how to quantify the loss, because each day you do not open you lose prospects to make money," Nwankwo said at his shop in the city's Marina market".

Doris Nkiriuka Anite, Nigeria's Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, said on Saturday the unrest was costing the economy more than 500 billion naira ($324.68 million) a day.
