Despite the achievements of the Buhari Presidency in securing the North East, and battling corruption, the state of the economy was kept on the back burner in 2017. Nairametrics looks at the areas where the Buhari administration failed to create significant mileage. This is a review of economic blunders made by the president.

1. Late budget passage
The 2017 budget was signed into law by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in June 2017, due to the absence of President Buhari who was on a medical vacation. Prior to this, the budget was also marred by allegations of padding. The late passage of the budget resulted in it being rolled over into 2018.

2. High Unemployment
Unemployment levels closed at 18.8% compared to the 14.4% in the first quarter of the year, according to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). A total of 15.9 million Nigerians were unemployed as at Q3 2017.
