Nigeria’s economy recorded a year-on-year real GDP growth of 4.07% in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to the latest Gross Domestic Product report released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
The figure represents an improvement from the 3.76% growth recorded in Q4 2024 and surpasses the 3.98% posted in Q3 2025.
The growth was driven by stronger performances across key sectors, particularly the oil industry, which expanded by 6.79% year-on-year—its strongest performance in recent quarters. This was supported by a rise in average daily crude production to 1.58 million barrels per day, up from 1.54 million bpd in Q4 2024.
For the full year 2025, Nigeria’s GDP growth settled at approximately 3.87% to 3.9%, an increase from the 3.38% to 3.4% recorded in 2024, signalling a steady economic recovery amid ongoing reforms.
Nominal GDP for the fourth quarter stood at ₦122.81 trillion, while real GDP was valued at ₦63.97 trillion.
Analysts have welcomed the figures but caution that sustaining momentum will depend on continued oil sector stability, diversification of non-oil revenue streams, and efforts to address inflation and structural challenges.
The data points to a resilient close to 2025 for Africa’s largest economy.
