What was a major challenge during Shagari's presidency?
Civil War
Economic Recession
Drought
Foreign Invasion
Answer
Economic recession emerged as a significant challenge during Shagari's presidency. The global oil glut in the early 1980s led to a sharp decline in oil prices, Nigeria's primary export. This resulted in reduced government revenue and a severe shortage of foreign exchange, impacting the country's ability to import essential goods and services and stifling economic growth.
