BREAKING: World Bank Projects 3-Year Unbroken Growth for Nigeria’s Economy

ABUJA — The World Bank has released a promising economic outlook for Nigeria, projecting three consecutive years of uninterrupted growth for the nation’s economy. According to its latest global economic report, Nigeria’s GDP is expected to grow by 3.6% in 2025, followed by 3.7% in 2026, and 3.8% in 2027.

This forecast marks a notable vote of confidence in Nigeria’s medium-term economic trajectory, despite recent challenges ranging from inflationary pressures and currency volatility to structural reforms and insecurity concerns.

The growth projection is anchored on several key factors, including improved macroeconomic management, policy consistency, expected gains from subsidy removals, enhanced oil production, and strengthened non-oil sectors like tech, agriculture, and services.

Analysts say the World Bank’s forecast is cautiously optimistic, highlighting that sustained reform implementation, fiscal discipline, and investment in human capital will be crucial for Nigeria to meet and possibly exceed these growth benchmarks.

If the predictions materialize, this would mark Nigeria’s longest stretch of stable annual growth in over a decade, signaling renewed investor confidence and a potential turnaround for Africa’s largest economy.
