The Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has said Nigeria’s economic outlook is improving, noting that the country is projected to grow faster than the United Kingdom and the United States.
Bwala made the statement on his X handle while reacting to the latest World Economic Outlook released by the International Monetary Fund in April 2026.
According to the report, Nigeria’s economy is expected to grow by 4.1 per cent in 2026, outpacing the United States (2.3 per cent), the United Kingdom (0.8 per cent), Germany (0.8 per cent), and South Africa (1.0 per cent).
The IMF also projects Nigeria’s growth to rise to 4.3 per cent in 2027, aligning with the Sub-Saharan African regional average of 4.3 per cent for 2026.
Reacting, Bwala attributed the positive outlook to ongoing economic reforms under the Tinubu administration, acknowledging that while the measures have been difficult, they are beginning to deliver results.
He maintained that the improving indicators reflect progress in the government’s policy direction and economic management.
