President Bola Tinubu has commended corporate Nigeria, citizens, and stakeholders in the capital market for surpassing the N100 trillion milestone on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), describing the achievement as a key inspiration for investors.

The President urged Nigerians to deepen their investments in the local economy, expressing confidence that 2026 would yield even greater returns as his administration’s economic reforms continue to take effect.

“With the Nigerian Exchange crossing the historic N100 trillion market capitalisation mark, the country is witnessing the birth of a new economic reality,” Tinubu said. He highlighted that the NGX All-Share Index recorded a 51.19% return in 2025, outperforming major global markets including the S&P 500 and the FTSE 100.

The President also pointed to the broader economic impact of his administration’s reforms, noting a decline in inflation from 34.8% in December 2024 to 14.45% in November 2025, with projections indicating it could fall below 10% by the end of 2026. Nigeria’s current account surplus is expected to rise to $18.81 billion, supported by a surge in non-oil exports, which increased by 48% in the first three quarters of 2025.

Tinubu highlighted ongoing infrastructure and social investments, including expanded rail networks, superhighways, improved medical facilities, and increased funding for education and research. He emphasized that the N100 trillion market capitalisation signals the strength and productivity of the Nigerian economy.

“As your leader, I pledge to continue working unrelentingly to build an egalitarian, transparent, and high-growth economy,” he said.

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, released the statement on Thursday.
