ABUJA, Nigeria – President Bola Tinubu says the Nigerian Exchange’s attainment of a ₦100 trillion market capitalisation marks a defining shift in Nigeria’s economic trajectory, signalling renewed investor confidence and the emergence of a new growth phase.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President describes the milestone as evidence that ongoing economic reforms are yielding tangible results.
“With the Nigerian Exchange crossing the historic ₦100 trillion market capitalisation mark, the country is witnessing the birth of a new economic reality and rejuvenation,” Tinubu says.
According to the President, the NGX All-Share Index closes 2025 with a 51.19 per cent return, outperforming its 2024 performance and exceeding returns recorded by several emerging and developed markets.
“Nigeria is no longer a frontier market to be ignored—it is now a compelling destination where value is being discovered,” Tinubu states.
Beyond equities, Tinubu highlights improvements in key macroeconomic indicators, including declining inflation, relative naira stability, expanding non-oil exports and rising foreign reserves.
“The ₦100 trillion market capitalisation is a signal to the world that the Nigerian economy is robust and productive,” the President says.
