The Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has said Nigeria’s economic outlook is improving, with growth projected to outpace that of the United Kingdom and the United States.
Bwala made this known in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle while reacting to the latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook released in April 2026.
According to the report, Nigeria’s economy is projected to grow by 4.1% in 2026, ahead of the United States (2.3%), the United Kingdom (0.8%), Germany (0.8%), and South Africa (1.0%). Growth is also forecast to rise to 4.3% in 2027, placing Nigeria among the stronger-performing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the regional average is projected at 4.3% for 2026.
In his post, Bwala attributed the positive outlook to ongoing reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, noting that although the reforms have been challenging, they are beginning to yield results.
