Why it matters

Ended the fuel subsidy (saving ₦15tn+), floated the naira, and tamed inflation to 15.39% by 2026; reserves hit a 17-year high of $52.7bn (Aug 2026); Q2 2026 GDP +4.43%.
Dangote refinery (650k bpd, operational); Lagos-Calabar coastal highway; Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline; new national carrier saga.
Reforms stabilized macro numbers but World Bank estimates poverty rose from 81m (2019) to ~139m by late 2025 (~61–63% rate) — the human cost of adjustment.
ECOWAS chair during the Sahel crisis; BRICS partner country (2025); US, UK, and Gulf investment ties; pragmatic China relations.
