The high price of oil is powering Nigeria's economy to new
heights. This year, it's predicted to have grown by over six per
cent. So why do some experts say it's more vulnerable now than it
was during the global economic meltdown of five years ago? The
Governor of Nigeria's Central Bank, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has
accused politicians of flooding the country with dollars to
lubricate election campaigning for a presidential poll that's
still 18 months away. By then, Governor Sanusi's term of office
at the bank will be over. Could he have his eye on a new one - in
the presidential palace?
