The 2025 Economic Freedom Audit of Nigeria, titled Essential Reforms for Growth, is a rigorous, data-driven assessment of the laws, institutions, and policies affecting property rights, business freedom, trade, and access to justice. It identifies structural barriers to growth, including judicial inefficiencies, weak contract enforcement, insecure land tenure, restrictive trade rules, and regulatory bottlenecks that limit productivity and investment. Beyond diagnosing these challenges, the Audit provides evidence-based reform recommendations, offering a practical roadmap for policymakers, businesses, and civil society to enhance economic freedom and foster a more competitive Nigerian economy.
