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.

EFCC  Recovers  ₦1.233Trillion  in 34 Months of Olukoyede’s Stewardship

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,  has broken its monetary asset recovery record in both national and foreign currencies in the 34 months of Ola Olukoyede’s leadership.

The disclosure was made on Monday, August 31, 2026 when the Executive Chairman of the Commission, Ola Olukoyede, addressed the media  on his stewardship.

Available records  showed that recovery in naira hit an all-time high of ₦1, 233,612,040,411.11, (One Trillion, Two Hundred and Thirty-three Billion, Six Hundred and Twelve Million, Forty Thousand, Four Hundred and Eleven Naira, Eleven Kobo). In dollars, it hit $684,478,457,32, (Six Hundred and Eighty-four Million, Four Hundred and Seventy-eight Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty-Seven Dollars, Thirty-two cents). In Pound Sterling,  the recovery  hit £373,905.78, (Three Hundred and Seventy-three Thousand, Nine Hundred and five Pounds, Seventy-eight Shillings) while it rose to €9,343,803.66 (Nine Million, Three Hundred and Forty-three Thousand, Eight Hundred and three Euros, Sixty-six Cents) in euros.

Out of the naira recovery, approximately ₦397.26billion, representing 33 percent was direct recoveries for the federal government, while ₦836.34billion, representing 67 percent were recoveries made by the Commission on behalf of ministries, departments and agencies, state revenue services, companies, individuals and foreign victims. This breakdown, according to Olukoyede, shows that “two out of every three naira recovered, were on behalf of beneficiaries other than the federal government.”

In the area of prosecution,  the EFCC’s chair  disclosed that  “the Commission received 49,673 petitions, investigated 39,615 cases, filed 14,476 cases in court and secured 10,872 convictions between October 2023 and July 2026, stating that this gives a conviction-to-filing ratio of 75.1 per cent.  In the first half of 2026 alone, the Commission he said recorded 1,370 convictions from 1,889 filings. These results reflect diligence, resilience and a prosecutorial approach anchored on evidence and courtroom outcomes”.

Speaking further, Olukoyede revealed that data from petitions and case analysis provides an indication of the shifting trends in the financial crime threat landscape. The Commission’s 2024 to 2026 year-to-date category data recorded 46,288 offences across nine major typologies. Advance fee fraud and cybercrime together, represented nearly two-thirds of recorded offences.  However, between 2024 and 2025, total recorded offences rose by 24.1 per cent, with notable increases in procurement fraud, bank fraud, cybercrime and economic-governance offences.

According to him, “This tells us that the fight against economic and financial crime is not only about grand corruption. Every day, we are protecting citizens, businesses and institutions from fraud, cyber-enabled crime and other forms of economic exploitation.”

The EFCC has continued to pursue complex and high-profile matters without regard to status. Its high-profile case portfolio spans former governors, ministers and other public office holders, heads of agencies, financial-sector operators and corporate officials.

The Commission’s specialised enforcement portfolio, he said, further demonstrates the breadth of this work.  “Across money laundering, unlicensed bureaux de change, illegal mining, virtual assets and terrorist financing, the Commission recorded 920 cases, with 212 convictions secured and a substantial active pipeline of investigations and prosecutions.  Money laundering and unlicensed bureau de change cases account for the largest share of this portfolio. We are also responding to emerging risks in virtual assets and illicit financial flows from the extractive sector,” he said.

While noting that recovery is only truly meaningful when value is returned to the public interest and to the rightful beneficiaries, Olukoyede stated that during the period under review, ₦661.32 billion and US$492.37 million were released to beneficiaries. The naira releases, he said, included about ₦325.35 billion paid directly to individuals and corporate bodies, while ₦335.97 billion was released to various MDA’s, Nigerian Revenue Service and States’ Internal Revenue Services, alongside releases to other public institutions, companies and individuals.

While disclosing that there was a significant revenue-mobilisation dimension to the Commission’s work, the EFCC’s boss  stated that “Federal and state tax recoveries amounted to approximately ₦288.1 billion over the period, including about ₦173.2 billion in federal tax recoveries and ₦114.9 billion attributed to States’ Internal Revenue Services, being fiscal value recovered through enforcement of existing obligations, and not through the imposition of new taxes. “In addition, approximately ₦257.2 billion in naira recoveries were recorded for federal ministries, departments and agencies, demonstrating how anti-corruption enforcement can reinforce the revenue capacity of the government,” he said.

He observed that national impact of recovery is perhaps clearest when proceeds of crime are converted into productive social investment, recalling the federal government’s directive in August 2024, for ₦50 billion each to be allocated to the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) and the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation from EFCC’s proceeds of crime and further funding of N50billion each for both organisations in 2026 from EFCC recoveries.

He also recalled that former NOK University, forfeited to the federal government was converted to a Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, Kaduna State, with a total of 1,909 students matriculated into the University in December 2025, disclosing further that another private university of high value has also been forfeited to the federal government. According to Olukoyede, “When recovered criminal value helps finance education and household credit, enforcement moves beyond punishment to restoration and productive national use.”

He noted that anti-corruption enforcement sanitises the fiscal space, strengthens federal and sub-national revenue, returns working capital to institutions, companies and citizens, supports financial-market integrity, protects the extractive and digital economies and strengthens Nigeria’s international credibility.

Speaking further, he said that “it also produces a deterrence dividend,” stating that every successful prosecution and every asset stripped from criminal enterprise reduces the expected cost of economic crime.”

Beyond cash, he disclosed that the Commission over the period secured the forfeiture of 10,053 tangible assets under interim and final court orders between October 2023 and July 2026. These included 8,198 electronic items, 1,177 real-estate assets, 370 automobiles, 251 plots of land, as well as schools, factories, hotels, shops, oil rigs, barges, machinery and Aircraft.  We also recorded the forfeiture of 102 tonnes of solid minerals.

“Proceeds from disposal under final forfeiture orders amounted to approximately ₦12.07 billion and were paid to the Federal Government,” he said.

The anti graft  czar also disclosed that the work of the Commission within the period equally contributed to improving the integrity of Nigeria’s financial system.  Sustained enforcement in money laundering, terrorist financing, asset freezing and confiscation, virtual assets and other higher-risk sectors formed part of Nigeria’s wider national effort to address deficiencies in the anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism framework.

According to him, “Nigeria’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force Grey List in October 2025 was a national achievement, and the Commission’s casework and enforcement activities formed part of that collective effort.”

In the foreign-exchange market, Olukoyede  noted that enforcement against unlicensed bureaux de change reinforced the regulatory reforms of the Central Bank of Nigeria, noting that the Commission recorded 234 BDC cases and 73 convictions within the last three years. “The overarching objective is to support a more formal, transparent and compliant retail foreign-exchange market and close channels vulnerable to illicit finance, speculation and round tripping. This has improved macroeconomic stability with long-term benefits for the average citizen,” he said.

In the area of institutional Reform and Restructuring, he observed that there is consequential improvement in the Commission’s processes and procedures, which partly explain the impact the Commission has made in all the matrices of law enforcement.

Reforms that have strengthened the Commission during the period include new guidelines on arrest and bail, a review of sting operations, the establishment of the Department of Fraud Risk Assessment and Control, the Security Department, the Immigration and Visa Section and the Cybercrime Rapid Response Centre.

In addition, the Enugu and Ilorin directorates were commissioned within the period and new directorates, established in Ekiti, Anambra and Katsina states, which has significantly improved citizens' access to the Commission.

Olukoyede also instituted policies on gifts and hospitality, conflict of interest and exhibit-room security.   He re-named and re-structured the Internal Affairs Department as  Ethics and Integrity Department to reflect the Commission’s commitment to internal cleansing under his leadership.

The Commission is also currently investing heavily in digitalization projects. “At the moment, almost 60 percent of our processes and operations have been digitalized.  Continuing investment in innovation and digitisation, the new Academy and EFCC 24/7 Cybercrime Rapid Response Centre (E-C2R2) as a strategic response to the growing complexity of cyber-enabled financial crimes and EFCC Radio," he said.

In general, Olukoyede observed that the past 34 months have been a period of sustained enforcement, institutional reform, prosecution, asset recovery, restitution and stronger collaboration at home and abroad.

Today, I inaugurated the reconstituted Governing Council of Osun State University (UNIOSUN), in a renewed commitment to strengthening the institution’s governance and advancing its position among the leading state universities in Nigeria.

I am particularly pleased with the progress recorded by UNIOSUN under its Management and Governing Council. The landmark projects and achievements of the University demonstrate what is possible when there is stability, commitment and a shared vision for excellence.

Professor Adewale Abiodun Oladipo has been retained as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, providing the needed continuity and experience. I charged him and all members of the reconstituted Council to work harmoniously with the University Management, guided by the law, mutual respect and the common objective of taking UNIOSUN to greater heights.

As a Government, we will continue to support initiatives that strengthen the University’s academic standing, research capacity, innovation ecosystem and overall development.

UNIOSUN is more than a university; it is one of the enduring investments of the people of Osun State and a source of pride for us all. I am confident that this new Council will build on the gains recorded and position the institution for greater excellence and global recognition.

May Osun State University continue to grow from strength to strength and produce graduates who will transform our society.

After my 200L testimony of survival, I cannot skip the foundation that carried me: The Redeemed Christian Church of God @rccgh(RCCG).

​Before LASU, I served as an Usher at RCCG Sanctuary of His Grace and Glory at home. In 100L, I served at RCCG Gift of Life Parish. During my 6-month IT, I joined the media team at RCCG Open Heaven & Aflame in Bariga.

​In 200L, RCCG Jesus House Epe became my home. They trained me to serve as an Usher, Youth Bible Study Coordinator, and Children’s Teacher. But beyond spiritual growth, Jesus House stood by me when things were tough:

- ​In 200L, when tuition was a challenge, RCCG Jesus House Epe stepped in and helped pay my school fees.

- ​In 400L, when hostel fees skyrocketed from ₦15k to ₦100k+ and I had nowhere to turn, God used Daddy Kevin (a Jesus House church elder and former RSM in Epe Barracks) to take me into his quarters.

​Coming from a humble background where home was loving but lacked basic comfort, staying at the barracks provided a serene, comfortable environment far beyond the campus hostels. Looking out at the lagoon from a distance and enjoying the cool air while studying, it was a lifetime experience that gave me the exact peace of mind I needed to focus and build.

​No matter where I go, I will always remember the church that poured into me. God has truly been helping me all the way!

Femi Otedola and Tony Elumelu had a major corporate tussle over Transcorp in 2023.

Otedola acquired about 6.3% of Transcorp and reportedly offered ₦250 billion to take over the company.

Elumelu responded by increasing his stake to about 25.9%, strengthening his control.

Otedola eventually sold his shares to Elumelu, saying: “Two captains cannot man a ship.”

It wasn't necessarily a personal fight, but it was a battle for control of Transcorp between two Nigerian billionaires.

Oluwasegun Francis @francis_themath just made history at the University of Ilorin.

The Senate of the University has announced him as the Overall Best Graduating Student of the 2025/2026 graduating class, with a perfect 5.0 CGPA, the first ever recorded in the history of the University.

As his course mate in the Department of Mathematics, I know this achievement came with a lot of sacrifice.

I have seen Francis struggle. I have seen the pressure, the difficult moments and the times when things were not easy for him. Yet, somehow, he kept showing up, kept learning and kept pushing.

That is what makes this achievement even more special.

Anytime you see Francis, you remember Michael Scofield. The intelligence. The calmness. The way he thinks. That ability to look at a difficult problem and keep searching until he finds a way through it.

But I don't want us to just celebrate Francis today and move on.

Francis has big dreams, and I believe he deserves the support to pursue them.

To individuals, companies, organisations, philanthropists and everyone who believes in young Nigerians with exceptional potential, please support this young man. Give him opportunities. Connect him with the right people. Help him access the resources and platforms he needs to go further.

I genuinely believe we will hear the name Oluwasegun Francis far beyond the walls of UNILORIN.

Nigeria will be proud of him.

And I believe the world will know his name too.

Francis is just getting started. 🇳🇬

Apple posted this video on Instagram, a FINAL GOODBYE to Tim Cook as Apple CEO.

[Noah Herman @noahhermanyt]

Dear @tim_cook,

Today is your final day as CEO of Apple.

When you first took on the job, I was 10 going on 11, and completely immersed in the magical world of the Mac, iPod, iPhone and the iPad. Beyond school, my friends and family… Apple was one of the reasons I got up in the morning so excited to start each day.

I remember sneaking to the back of my 5th grade classroom to quickly pull up the Apple homepage the day iPhone 4S launched and the pure joy I felt upon seeing it for the first time. I was already anticipating dragging
my poor father to the store so I could play around with Siri and iOS 5.

But the very next day, my dad entered my room and broke news to me that I would only properly comprehend and grieve years later. Steve Jobs, the man who had built this wonderful world that I adored, was suddenly gone from it.

I remember being gutted, and worrying about what would happen to the company and its products that meant
so much to me.

But… life went on. I had 5th grade to attend and lots of growing up to do.

And as 2012 rolled around, Apple and its products grew too. iPad and MacBook Pro got sharper. iPhone and iPod touch got taller, iPad got smaller, and my heart and joy for Apple grew bigger with each event and new release… from more iconic, game-changing products and paint jobs… to a device that’s saved more lives than
anyone can count.

But while we can sit here and go over the long list of your staggering achievements… I think it all overlooks the profound journey you’ve been on the past 15 years.

When I think of you, I don’t see you launching the Watch, iPhone X or Vision Pro. I don’t think about the headlines or the stock prices.

What I think of and remember is a man who, in late 2011, had the literal weight of the world on his shoulders. A man with immeasurable responsibility set before him, impossible expectations to meet, and
left with gargantuan shoes no one could ever possibly fill again.

But despite the unexpectedly sudden loss of your dear friend Steve, and the opinions of the outside world… to me it’s so evidently clear that your mission from the start was to, as you would say, be the best version of yourself you could be.

And how lucky we are that this involved protecting and fostering this technological safe haven so many of us have made a home in throughout our lives. You provided continuity, stability and meaningful progress.

And while you may not have invented Apple like Steve did, it is so deeply touching to me that you “threw caution to the wind” and wholeheartedly embraced it despite all the discouragement from your peers.

Your devotion and chosen love for Apple has moved me beyond what words can convey.

All of this to say, while Steve may be the soul or DNA of Apple, to me you will forever be its heart and backbone.

So on behalf of the Apple-obsessed kid I once was, and the 26-year-old Apple-obsessed man I am now (and many
more who feel the same) thank you, Tim, for putting us at the center of your life’s work. For making us, the user, your mission. For the real care and love we have felt through your immense effort…

…and for simply being a good and decent man.

With love,
-Noah
