The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has upgraded Nigeria’s economic growth forecast to 3.9% in 2025 and 4.2% in 2026, marking another strong endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reform-driven economic agenda. The upward revision comes just a week after the World Bank raised its own projections to 4.2% for 2025 and 4.4% by 2027, attributing the improvement to renewed investor confidence, fiscal discipline, and improved macroeconomic stability under the Tinubu administration.

Observers credit the positive outlook to a series of bold policy reforms implemented since Tinubu assumed office — including overhauls in fiscal management, energy pricing, trade liberalization, and investment promotion. These initiatives, according to economic analysts, have begun to reposition Nigeria for sustainable growth while strengthening the nation’s global economic standing.

Political commentators have also noted that the administration’s performance has shifted the political landscape, with several opposition figures and state leaders reportedly aligning with the All Progressives Congress (APC). As Nigeria’s economy stabilizes and global institutions take notice, many see the IMF’s forecast as validation that the country’s leadership is steering it firmly toward renewed prosperity.
