Oyedele Says Nigeria Must Turn Economic Stability Into Shared Prosperity

Taiwo Oyedele says the Federal Government’s next priority is to translate improving economic indicators into jobs, lower poverty and broader prosperity for Nigerians. He cited GDP growth of 3.89% in the first quarter of 2026, lower inflation, a wider trade surplus and improved sovereign credit ratings. He also said Nigeria’s removal from international financial-monitoring lists could reduce friction for cross-border investment. According to Oyedele, the National Economic Council identified agriculture, energy, manufacturing, mining and the digital economy as priority sectors. He added that food inflation, foreign-exchange shocks, commodity volatility and election-cycle fiscal risks still require careful management.
