At the 2024 Nigerian Bar Association Conference in Lagos, WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala criticized Nigeria’s growing insecurity. She condemned politicians for using violence as a tool to discredit their opponents, which has led to chaos, disrupted domestic travel, and hindered socioeconomic activities.

Okonjo-Iweala emphasized that without security, socio-economic development is impossible, as innocent Nigerians face mounting losses in lives and property.

The ongoing unrest has also devastated food security, with violence making it unsafe for farmers and traders to connect, threatening the country’s food supply chain. 

Additionally, Okonjo-Iweala pointed to massive crude oil theft as another factor undermining Nigeria’s economic and financial stability, further worsening the crisis.
