Four Mega Trends to Shape Nigerian Economy in 2026

Nigeria is poised for its biggest economic boom in at least a decade in 2026, driven by developments such as the implementation of the harmonised tax rules, the long-awaited listing of the giant Dangote Refinery, and the new capital rules for banks and insurers.

These measures are designed to strengthen public finances, unlock new growth, and reinforce the financial system’s capacity to support an economy already showing signs of faster expansion.
