Nigeria Records 4.07% GDP Growth in Q4 2025, Reflecting Broad‑Based Economic Expansion The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, has welcomed the latest national economic data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), confirming that Nigeria’s real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 4.07% in the fourth quarter of 2025 (Q4 2025), marking the second time in a decadeexcluding the immediate post‑pandemic rebound—that quarterly growth has surpassed the 4% threshold. This figure follows the 4.23% growth recorded in Q2 2025 and represents a clear acceleration from the 3.76% reported in Q3 2024, underscoring strengthening macroeconomic stability and the tangible impact of the Federal Government’s continuing economic reform programme under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Honourable Minister noted that growth in Q4 2025 was driven by sustained expansion across all three major sectors of the economy 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. The Industrial sector 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.

The Services sector recorded 4.15% growth, demonstrating resilience and continued expansion in finance, telecommunications, trade, and technology‑driven segments.

Notably, approximately 30 subsectors recorded growth rates above 3.0%, underscoring the scope and structural depth of the expansion. This signals that economic progress is no longer concentrated in isolated segments but increasingly diversified across Nigeria’s economy. Further figures released by the NBS show that, for the full year 2025, Nigeria’s real GDP grew by 3.87%, improving on the 3.38% recorded in 2024. Consequently, the size of the Nigerian economy rose to ₦441.5 trillion, up from ₦372.8 trillion in 2024. This expansion reflects strengthening fundamentals, improved fiscal coordination, disciplined expenditure management, enhanced revenue mobilisation, and reforms aimed at restoring macroeconomic credibility. The Honourable Minister emphasised that the latest data sends a strong signal to foreign investors, multilateral institutions, and global economic stakeholders that Nigeria’s reform trajectory is gaining traction and being consolidated.

The Ministry of Finance reiterated its commitment to disciplined reform implementation, strategic coordination across government institutions, and transparent engagement with domestic and international stakeholders.
