Run by a long-standing incumbent government, and dependent on competitive petroleum, agriculture and their derivative industries. Increasing unrest caused by small pockets of growing Islamist radicalization. iii) Quality vs. Cost of living - Fair quality of living. Cost of living is rising as the economy resists rising inflation and a weakening currency. iv) Access to education - Educational facilities are well-provided, although of questionable quality. Poor educational planning has led to a surplus of jobless graduates lacking industry competence. v) Access to healthcare - Generally good in urban areas. Rural healthcare access sorely inadequate. Good balance of government- and private-backed services.
