Nigeria Decides: Businesses anxious for peace

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Nigeria Decides: Businesses anxious for peace

How can Nigeria's next president defeat Boko Haram and restore business confidence?

As Nigeria gets ready to vote, how can the country's next president defeat Boko Haram and restore business confidence? Plus, Indiana faces a boycott over 'anti-gay discrimination'

As Nigerians get ready to vote, we ask how badly Africa's biggest economy has been affected by the Boko Haram insurgency, and whether the next president will be able to restore international investor confidence. We speak to the boss of a mobile payments company in the capital, Lagos, and also a textile businessman in the northern city of Kano about their election hopes. The US state of Indiana is threatened with a trade boycott over a new law that many see as a way to allow businesses to discriminate against gay people. We hear from those trying to promote the state capital for conventions and tourism. In the era of digital downloads, how do modern musicians make their money - we have a special report. And in our round-up of the week's biggest stories we discuss the Germanwings crash, the merger between US food giants Heinz and Kraft, and Facebook's move into the news business.
