Nigeria’s economy is expected to grow fast in 2026. The World Bank says the country will grow by 4.4 percent this year. The same growth is expected in 2027. This would be the fastest growth Nigeria has had in over ten years.

The World Bank says the growth will come from services, farming, and industry outside oil. These areas are helping more people work and earn money. Nigeria’s government has also made policies to help businesses grow and attract investment.

The services sector — like banks, telecoms, and trade — is leading the growth. Farming and manufacturing are also picking up. This is helping Nigeria depend less on oil, which can be risky if global oil prices drop.

Even though the growth is good news, some problems remain. Inflation, unemployment, and poor roads or electricity can make it hard for everyone to feel the benefits. Experts say the government needs to fix these problems to make growth help more people.

The growth forecast shows that Nigeria is becoming stronger in Africa. If the government and businesses work well together, more jobs can be created, and more investors may come into the country. It also gives the government more money to spend on schools, hospitals, and roads.

The World Bank’s prediction gives Nigeria a chance to plan ahead. Policymakers can focus on keeping the economy growing and helping people live better lives.
