The Presidency has hailed Nigeria’s improving economic outlook. FG recently revealed that the country is projected to grow faster than major economies such as the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and South Africa in 2026.

According to the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, the latest World Economic Outlook released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in April 2026 stated that Nigeria’s economy is expected to expand by 4.1% in 2026, a rate that is higher than the projected growth for the United States (2.3%), the United Kingdom (0.8%), Germany (0.8%), and South Africa (1.0%).

He added that the IMF also forecasts Nigeria’s growth at 4.3% for 2027, placing the country among the stronger performers in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the regional average is projected at 4.3% for 2026.

His words, “Nigeria, under the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is turning the corner. Latest projections by the International Monetary Fund show our economy growing at 4.1% in 2026, faster than the US, UK, Germany, and even South Africa.

President Tinubu is not joking; he is seriously fixing the economy.”
