This gave rise to the rate of unemploymentconsidering the youths of Nigeria. As a flow, the goods prices and the services wereincreased continuously by over 100% (Thieme, 2018). There was the devaluation of thepurchasing power. Failures were experienced within several companies which were highlyprofiled. The production facilities of the multinational companies have shifted their facilitiesout of Nigeria.

Thus analysing thephenomenon is crucial as this will enable the government of Nigeria and the reader tounderstand in terms of personal employment where Nigeria stand and what can be done forfuture sustainability of the state. 2.8 Chapter summary:For the prevention of the meltdown of the economy and to bounce back towards theeconomic buoyancy within Nigeria, there should be the adoption of the numerous way-outsas well as recommendation which is being required to be adopted in an efficient manner dueto the limitation of times.

The citizens of the country are required to be empowered for the making of thereports, through the numerous means towards the established agencies which hasguided against the unlawful acts. This is the study which has suggested a synchronisation among the fiscal measures as well asthe monitory policy towards the direction of the increment of the liquidity within theeconomy, the decreasing rates of the interests, the employment and the increasing investmentalong with the increment of the income of the economic entities.
