World Bank lifts Nigeria growth forecast to 4.4% for 2026–27

The World Bank has upgraded Nigeria’s growth outlook, forecasting 4.4% expansion in both 2026 and 2027, its strongest performance in over a decade. The revision reflects strong services-led growth from finance and ICT, improving agriculture, higher domestic refining, ongoing reforms, and monetary discipline. Sustaining momentum will require steadily addressing structural weaknesses ahead.
