The year 2024 may bring about a myriad of risks and challenges for Nigeria, potentially impacting various facets of society and the economy. These risks range from economic uncertainties such as business closures, job losses, and inflation, to social issues like crime, protests, and ethnic/religious disintegration thereby creating social unrest.

Political instability, disputes between farmers and herders, unemployment, ethnic divisions, and the rise of extremist organizations are among the factors driving the spread of small arms and light weapons in the Sahel and West Africa.
