Ministry of Foreign Affairs commends Fourth Estate for its investigations on the attestation process.

We confirm that the gentleman engaged in the alleged nefarious activities is not a member of staff of our ministry and that he is facing sanctions, further investigation and likely prosecution. He has also been prohibited from entering our ministry.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains zero tolerance for the activities of unscrupulous middlemen.

Meanwhile, comprehensive reforms are underway with all partner institutions to make the attestation process cashless, anchored on a digital platform and more efficient as we have remarkably done with Passport Application Processes.

For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾

I join millions of Nigerians in celebrating His Excellency, Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, as he marks his 60th birthday.

From serving as the Governor Borno to his current role as vice president, Senator Shettima has remained a model of courage, diligence, and uncommon devotion to public service.

His wealth of experience, demonstrated capacity, deep wisdom, and steadfast commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have contributed immensely to the work of rebuilding our economy and delivering prosperity to our people.

As he marks this significant milestone, I pray that Almighty God continues to bless him with sound health, wisdom, strength, and many more years of service to our great nation.

𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀'𝐒 𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐌𝐘 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒, 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐓𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐀 𝐔𝐒𝐃 1 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐆𝐃𝐏

Abuja, September 1, 2026 — Nigeria's economy continues to demonstrate resilience and accelerating growth with the second quarter of 2026 real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanding by 4.43 per cent year-on-year, up from 4.23 per cent in Q2 2025 and 3.89 per cent in Q1 2026.

The strong Q2 2026 outturn lifted real GDP growth for the first half of 2026 to 4.16 per cent, up from 3.68 per cent in the corresponding period of 2025, a clear signal of sustained strengthening across the economy.

Growth is also becoming more broad-based. In Q2 2026, 27 economic subsectors recorded real growth above 3.0 per cent, up from 23 subsectors in Q2 2025, showing that expansion is no longer concentrated in a handful of industries.

The productive sectors led the way. Manufacturing grew by 3.24 per cent, more than double the 1.60 per cent recorded in Q2 2025, reflecting improved industrial output. Agriculture expanded by 4.39 per cent, up from 2.82 per cent, underscoring stronger production and value-chain performance. Services, the largest driver of growth, expanded by 4.60 per cent, up from 3.94 per cent.

The relative stability and steady appreciation of the exchange rate further amplified these gains in dollar terms. The naira appreciated by more than 12 per cent between H1 2025 and H1 2026, resulting in an expansion of the economy by approximately 17 per cent in U.S. dollar terms over the period, a pace that, if sustained along with the various social programmes of the Government, will meaningfully strengthen dollar incomes, improve purchasing power and lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty.

Given this momentum, Nigeria is well positioned to consolidate its standing among Africa's largest economies and to advance toward the Government's target of a USD 1 trillion economy by 2030. The International Monetary Fund has already ranked Nigeria among the top 10 contributors to global real GDP growth in 2026, projecting the country to account for roughly 1.5 per cent of world growth this year, ahead of several advanced and emerging economies.

Continued macroeconomic stability, sustained growth across productive sectors, and improving investor confidence would accelerate Nigeria's progression toward becoming Africa's largest economy by 2028.

These results underscore the importance of sustaining our reforms and ensuring policy consistency as their benefits begin to reach households across the country. The Government remains focused on accelerating inclusive growth and translating these macroeconomic gains into shared prosperity for every Nigerian family.

MY BROTHER AND PARTNER AT 60: KASHIM SHETTIMA, GCON

Today, I warmly congratulate Vice President Kashim Shettima @KashimSM @officialSKSM, my brother and partner in steering the ship of our state, on his 60th birthday.

I rejoice with his wife, Nana, children, family and political associates on this important milestone.

Kashim is not just a trusted ally or a valued colleague, but also a patriot whose life has been defined by service, commitment and sacrifice for worthy causes.

In celebrating Kashim, we celebrate his distinguished banking career and exemplary record of service to Borno State and Nigeria.

Shettima's unwavering commitment to our nation's progress and unity is particularly worthy of mention.

I commend him for his years of dedicated public service, first as Governor of Borno State and subsequently as Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In both capacities, Kashim has demonstrated courage, diligence, compassion and an abiding commitment to improving the lives of the people.

I acknowledge, in particular, Vice-President Shettima’s loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC), support for the administration and his unwavering dedication to the success of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

As Chairman of the National Economic Council, Shettima has provided purposeful leadership in coordinating economic policy and fostering collaboration among the Federal Government and the sub-nationals.

His respect for constitutional governance, democratic institutions, and dialogue and consultation has helped strengthen good governance.

As a trusted partner, his loyalty, wisdom and sense of duty have remained invaluable to the administration.

I must thank Vice President Shettima for his steadfast support and partnership as we continue to join hands in delivering the promises of Renewed Hope to Nigerians.

I am confident that working together, we will continue to make meaningful progress in building the Nigeria of our dreams.

On behalf of the Federal Government @NigeriaGov, I again congratulate Vice President Shettima on this milestone, and I pray that Almighty Allah will continue to guide, protect, and strengthen him.
May Munificent Allah grant him wisdom and good health, and bless him with many more years of purposeful service to Nigeria.

THE RENEWED HOPE AGENDA IS WORKING

Fellow Nigerians,

Our economy grew by 4.43% in the second quarter of 2026, up from 4.23% in the same period last year.

Growth was recorded across agriculture, manufacturing, oil and gas, and services, which now make the largest contribution to our GDP.

In nominal terms, our GDP reached ₦119.27 trillion, up 18.43% from ₦100.7 trillion in the same period last year.

These numbers matter because they show where our economy is going after three years of difficult but necessary reforms.

“CHEAPER FUEL MUST MEAN CHEAPER TRANSPORT FARES”: PRESIDENT TINUBU, GOVERNORS MOVE TO CUT TRANSPORT FARES NATIONWIDE

I am pleased with my discussion with the Governors’ Forum this afternoon. The Governors have, on their own initiative, resolved to take immediate measures to bring down the cost of transportation in their states, with a strong focus on leveraging the cost benefits of CNG and electric vehicles.

The Federal Government is already investing significantly in this energy transition. Through the Presidential CNG Initiative, over 120,000 vehicles have been converted nationwide, with more than 100,000 additional conversion kits in the works. At the same time, we continue to expand conversion centres and refuelling infrastructure nationwide.

The Federal Government, through the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund, is currently financing more than 100 gas projects across the country, including 15 CNG mother stations and 86 daughter stations. In May, I commissioned four of these projects in Lagos, Abuja and Owerri, including a 15-station refuelling network in Lagos and an Abuja facility that can serve 1,000 cars and tricycles and 50 trucks and buses a day.

I have also directed the additional rollout of another 500 CNG refuelling stations nationwide in addition to the 500 stations ordered earlier in the year by the Fund, bringing the programme to 1,000 stations across the country.

Intra-state transport is where Nigerians feel the cost most directly, and it is where the states hold the levers. I am encouraged that our Governors are moving to bring these benefits closer to the people they serve.

We have agreed to set up a joint Federal and State committee to begin implementing these measures immediately. A vehicle running on CNG spends 60 to 80 per cent less on fuel than one running on petrol.

From October 1, our goal is that Nigerians begin to partake in those savings through lower transport fares.
We have agreed that cheaper fuel should result in cheaper fares!

Each tier of government must keep doing its part and work together for the benefit of every Nigerian.

Nigeria First.
