Daniel Bwala, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, declared Nigeria’s economic outlook brighter than ever, growing faster than major economies like the UK and US.

Reacting on X to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) April 2026 World Economic Outlook, Bwala highlighted Nigeria’s projected 4.1% growth for 2026. This tops the US at 2.3%, UK and Germany at 0.8% each, and South Africa at 1.0%.
