POSSESSES RICH OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES
In Nigeria, which possesses the African continent's rich oil and natural gas reserves, issues such as income inequality and attacks by Boko Haram and armed gang members negatively affect the country's economy.
Due to the economic crisis and security problems, some Nigerians living under difficult conditions in their country are attempting to reach Europe through illegal means in the hope of a better life.
