Nigeria\u2019s GDP Grows 4.07% in Q4 2025, Signalling Broad-Based Economic Growth<\/p>\n
The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, has welcomed the latest economic data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), showing Nigeria’s real GDP grew by 4.07% in Q4 2025. This marks the second time in a decade (excluding the post-pandemic rebound) that quarterly growth has exceeded 4%. \u00b9<\/p>\n
This figure follows the 4.23% growth recorded in Q2 2025 and represents a clear acceleration from the 3.76% posted in Q3 2024. The performance underscores strengthening macroeconomic stability and the tangible impact of the Federal Government\u2019s economic reform programme under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n
The Ministry’s Asst Director (Information and Public Relations) Amadi Uloma, in a statement, disclosed that the Minister noted that the growth recorded in Q4 2025 was driven by sustained expansion across all three major sectors of the economy:<\/p>\n
According to him, “Agriculture expanded by 4.0%, up significantly from 2.54% in Q4 2024, reflecting improved security in food-producing regions, enhanced access to inputs, and targeted productivity interventions.<\/p>\n
“Industry grew by 3.88%, compared to 2.49% in the corresponding period of 2024, supported by improved foreign exchange liquidity, energy sector reforms, and renewed investor confidence.<\/p>\n
“Services recorded 4.15% growth, demonstrating resilience and continued expansion in finance, telecommunications, trade, and technology-driven segments”<\/p>\n
Notably, he asserted that approximately 30 subsectors recorded growth rates above 3.0%, underscoring the scope and structural depth of the expansion which signals that growth is no longer concentrated in isolated segments but increasingly diversified across the economy.<\/p>\n
Further figures released by the NBS show that, for the full year 2025, Nigeria\u2019s real GDP grew by 3.87%, improving on the 3.38% recorded in 2024. Consequently, the size of the Nigerian economy rose to \u20a6441.5 trillion, up from \u20a6372.8 trillion in 2024.<\/p>\n
This expansion reflects strengthening fundamentals, improved fiscal coordination, disciplined expenditure management, and reforms aimed at restoring macroeconomic credibility.<\/p>\n
The Honourable Minister further noted that this latest data sends a strong signal to foreign investors, multilateral institutions, and global economic stakeholders that Nigeria\u2019s reform trajectory is gaining traction and is being consolidated.<\/p>\n
He further highlighted the fact that with improving macroeconomic coordination, strengthening revenue mobilisation, enhanced transparency in public finance, and ongoing structural reforms, Nigeria is positioning itself as a stable and competitive destination for long-term capital.<\/p>\n
The statement added that the Ministry reiterated its commitment to disciplined reform implementation, strategic coordination across government institutions, and transparent engagement with domestic and international stakeholders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
