Nigeria’s economy grew by 4.07% in the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting broad-based expansion across key sectors, according to a statement issued Monday by the Presidency.

Citing new data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the statement said the growth marks the second time in a decade, excluding the immediate post-pandemic rebound, that quarterly expansion has exceeded 4%.

The result follows a 4.23% increase recorded in the second quarter of 2025 and represents a notable improvement from the 3.76% growth posted in the third quarter of 2024.

The Presidency attributed the performance to strengthening macroeconomic stability and the impact of ongoing reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Growth in the fourth quarter was recorded across the three major sectors of the economy.

Agriculture expanded by 4%, up from 2.54% in the same period of 2024, supported by improved security in food-producing areas and better access to inputs.

The industrial sector grew by 3.88%, compared with 2.49% a year earlier, driven by improved foreign exchange liquidity, reforms in the energy sector and stronger investor confidence.

The services sector remained the strongest contributor, recording 4.15% growth amid continued expansion in finance, telecommunications, trade and technology-driven activities.

About 30 subsectors posted growth above 3%, highlighting the breadth and increasing diversification of the economy.

For the full year, real gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 3.87%, up from 3.38% in 2024. The size of the economy increased to N441.5 trillion ($322.3 billion), compared with N372.8 trillion ($272.1 billion) the previous year.

The Presidency said the performance reflects improved fiscal coordination, disciplined expenditure management, stronger revenue mobilization and sustained structural reforms aimed at restoring macroeconomic credibility and boosting investor confidence.
