Nigeria is showing stronger economic momentum compared
to some of the world’s leading economies, according to fresh projections from
the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu
on Policy Communication, highlighted the development in a post on social media,
referencing the IMF’s April 2026 World Economic Outlook report.
The report projects Nigeria’s economy to expand by
4.1% in 2026, a rate higher than that of the United States at 2.3%, the United
Kingdom and Germany at 0.8% each, and South Africa at 1.0%. Looking ahead,
Nigeria’s growth is expected to rise further to 4.3% in 2027, aligning with the
broader Sub-Saharan Africa average for 2026.
Bwala credited the positive outlook to ongoing
economic reforms introduced by President Tinubu’s administration. While
acknowledging that the reforms have not been easy, he noted that early signs
suggest they are beginning to deliver measurable improvements.
