President Bola Tinubu has praised corporate Nigeria and investors for pushing the Nigerian Exchange past the N100 trillion mark, describing the milestone as a clear sign of growing confidence in the economy. He said the achievement shows that Nigeria’s capital market is on a strong upward path and urged citizens to invest more locally.
The President noted that despite global market challenges, the NGX closed 2025 with a 51.19 percent return, outperforming major global indices. He said Nigeria is no longer a market to overlook but a destination where real value is being created, reflecting improving economic health and investor trust.
Tinubu added that ongoing reforms are boosting exports, strengthening the naira, growing foreign reserves beyond 45 billion dollars and driving infrastructure development across roads, rail and ports. He assured Nigerians that 2026 will deliver even better returns as these reforms continue to take effect.
