Nigeria records over 4% GDP growth in Q4 2025, signaling economic growth
**Naija's Economy on the Rise: 4% GDP Growth in Q4 2025** In a welcome development for Nigeria's economy, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has just released its latest data, revealing a remarkable 4.07% growth in real GDP in the fourth quarter of 2025 (Q4 2025). This achievement marks a significant milestone, breaking the 4% threshold for the second time in a decade, excluding the post-pandemic rebound. According to the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, this impressive growth is a testament to the strengthening macroeconomic stability and the tangible impact of the Federal Government's economic reform programme. With the economy expanding across all three major sectors – agriculture, industry, and services – the growth is no longer concentrated in isolated segments but is increasingly diversified across the economy.

The services sector, which has been resilient in the face of economic challenges, recorded a growth of 4.15% in Q4 2025, demonstrating its continued expansion in finance, telecommunications, trade, and technology-driven segments.
