Nigeria’s central bank is expected to keep interest rates unchanged until the country’s election cycle draws closer to an end, as policymakers prioritise taming inflation and preserving exchange-rate stability over stimulating growth, according to economists.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Tuesday retained its benchmark Monetary Policy Rate at 26.5 percent for a second consecutive meeting, a decision widely anticipated by markets despite inflation easing marginally to 15.91 percent in June from 15.93 percent in May...

I was pleased to participate as a panelist at the 14th Annual BusinessDay CEO Forum, where business and public sector leaders came together to discuss this year’s theme, “From Stability to Shared Prosperity.”

The conversation reinforced that sustainable growth depends on creating an enabling environment where businesses can invest, innovate, and scale. I shared my thoughts on improving access to capital for SMEs, strengthening the investment ecosystem, and deepening collaboration between the public and private sectors to accelerate Nigeria’s economic transformation.

These conversations matter because lasting prosperity is built through collective action, sound policy, and leadership that looks beyond today’s challenges to tomorrow’s opportunities.

My appreciation to BusinessDay for creating this platform for meaningful dialogue.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has signalled that there might be no rush for an easing cycle even though inflation slowed in June, marking the first slowdown since the Middle East tensions began in February.

Olayemi Cardoso, the CBN governor said on Thursday, that authorities had projected that a rate cut was imminent as inflation began gradual cooling but the longer-than-necessary US-Iran war dimmed that outlook...

As Nigeria grapples with rising debt and growing demands for accountability, concerns are mounting over billions of naira allocated to projects that appear outside the mandates of federal agencies.

BusinessDay Investigations uncovered how regulatory bodies such as NAFDAC, SON and others were assigned infrastructure and constituency projects traditionally handled by other agencies.

Recent controversy surrounding similar allocations to the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children's Education has reignited the debate.

Join Accountability Hour as we examine whether off-mandate projects are closing development gaps or weakening transparency, accountability and the integrity of Nigeria's budgeting system.

Working with the recent GDP figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics, we can see that the economy is expanding modestly, but growth remains too concentrated in sectors that reward capital, scale, and pricing power more than labour.

Therefore, it may be difficult for us to see concrete job creation in the way most people expect.

Of the 3.9% real GDP growth, two-thirds came from Services, with telecoms and financial services performing relatively better than the rest.

The parts of Services growing fastest are often high-value, asset-light, tech-enabled, and pricing-power-heavy sectors. Telecoms and financial services can grow revenue and profit without needing to hire millions of people.

Most players in the Services sector are not necessarily mass job-creation machines.

The sectors that typically absorb labour at scale are:

✑ Agriculture
✑ Manufacturing
✑ Construction
✑ Trade
✑ Logistics

We know why these sectors are constrained.

The broader economy can grow while poverty remains stubbornly persistent.

The nominal GDP table reveals something interesting about the Services sector. Companies in that sector typically have stronger pricing power. They can reprice more quickly.

Banks can reprice loans. Telecoms can monetise data consumption, real estate can reset rents, and traders can, at least partly, pass costs through.

Manufacturers, on the other hand, face a harder context. They deal with imported input, energy costs, weak consumer wallets, logistics costs, and still struggle to pass the full cost to customers without destroying volume.

Nigeria cannot sustainably reduce poverty if manufacturing is growing only 1% to 3% in real terms. That is too weak for a country with Nigeria’s population growth and unemployment problems.

Real GDP growth is about volume growth. No rational entrepreneur risks capital on 1%-3% volume growth.
