President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that 2026 will usher in a stronger phase of economic growth for Nigeria, following gains recorded in 2025 from sustained fiscal, monetary, and structural reforms. In his New Year message, the President said Nigeria ended 2025 on a solid economic footing despite global pressures, noting that tough policy decisions are beginning to yield measurable results.
Tinubu disclosed that Nigeria recorded consistent GDP growth across all quarters of 2025, with annual growth projected to exceed 4 per cent. Inflation declined steadily to below 15 per cent, while exchange rate stability improved and trade surpluses were maintained. The Nigerian Stock Exchange posted a 48.12 per cent gain, outperforming several global markets.
Foreign reserves stood at $45.4bn by December 29, 2025, strengthening the naira, while foreign direct investment rose sharply to $720m in Q3 2025. Tinubu reaffirmed commitment to fiscal discipline, tax reforms, security enhancement, and inclusive growth through infrastructure investment and social development programmes.
