President Tinubu Celebrates Nigerian Stock Exchange’s N100 Trillion Milestone

President Bola Tinubu has celebrated the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) surpassing the historic N100 trillion market capitalisation mark, calling it a powerful signal of renewed investor confidence and economic recovery.

In a statement, the President described the milestone as reflecting a “new economic reality” for Nigeria and urged citizens to increase their participation in the capital market. He highlighted the NGX’s robust performance, noting the All Share Index delivered a 51.19% return in 2025, outperforming its 2024 gains and surpassing major global indices like the S&P 500.

President Tinubu linked this success to his administration’s broader economic reforms, which he said are yielding results. He pointed to declining inflation, which fell from 34.8% in December 2024 to 14.45% by November 2025, and improved stability in the Naira. He also cited progress in non-oil exports, manufacturing output, and infrastructure development.

The President attributed the market’s strength to the performance of key sectors like banking, industrials, technology, and energy. He added that a growing pipeline of new listings from local energy firms, telecoms operators, and infrastructure companies will further deepen the market.

President Tinubu concluded by calling on Nigerians to deepen their investments in the domestic economy, emphasizing that sustainable nation-building requires collective discipline, sacrifice, and confidence in local institutions.
