President Bola Tinubu on Monday welcomed the latest report by the National Bureau of Statistics showing that Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product grew by 4.43 per cent in the second quarter of 2026, up from 4.23 per cent in the same period of 2025.
He described the figures as evidence that his administration’s economic reforms were working.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement he signed on Monday titled, ‘President Tinubu Welcomes Reports of Growth in GDP, Assures of Stronger Microeconomic Performance.’
According to the statement, the NBS report also showed growth in agriculture, manufacturing, the oil and gas sector and the services sector, which now dominates the economy in terms of its contribution to aggregate GDP.
