PRESS RELEASE

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐆𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐌𝐅 𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀'𝐒 𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐌𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐔𝐌

Abuja, 9 June 2026

The Federal Government welcomes the publication of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) 2026 Article IV Mission Concluding Statement on Nigeria and notes its overall positive assessment of the country's economic reform programme. The report provides further independent validation that the bold and necessary reforms undertaken under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, are strengthening macroeconomic stability, restoring confidence, and laying the foundation for sustainable and inclusive growth.

The IMF observed that reforms implemented over the past two and a half years have yielded improved macroeconomic outcomes and enhanced Nigeria's resilience to external shocks. The Fund specifically highlighted improvements in foreign exchange market functioning, stronger external buffers, ongoing fiscal and revenue reforms, banking sector resilience, and growing macroeconomic stability. These developments affirm that Nigeria is moving in the right direction and is better positioned to withstand global economic uncertainties than at any time in recent years.

The Government is particularly encouraged by the IMF's recognition that the difficult but necessary decisions to end fuel subsidies, eliminate deficit monetisation, liberalise the foreign exchange market, and strengthen fiscal discipline have contributed significantly to reducing vulnerabilities and rebuilding confidence in the economy. The report notes that Nigeria now faces global shocks with stronger policy frameworks and buffers than before.

The recent conflict in the Middle East has created new challenges for economies around the world through higher energy prices, rising food costs, tighter financial conditions, and disruptions to global supply chains. While these developments present inflationary pressures, the IMF acknowledged that Nigeria has demonstrated notable resilience. Despite significant increases in global energy prices, the foreign exchange parallel market premium has remained below five percent, sovereign spreads have remained broadly stable, and investor confidence has been preserved.

The IMF further noted that Nigeria is well positioned to benefit from higher energy prices through stronger export earnings, improved fiscal revenues, and increased foreign exchange inflows.

The Federal Government remains focused on translating these opportunities into long-term gains by increasing crude oil production, expanding domestic refining capacity, growing gas production and exports, and attracting new investments across the energy value chain.

The Government acknowledges the IMF's observation that poverty and food insecurity remain significant challenges. While progress is being made in terms of per capita income growing by nearly 10 percent in 2025 indicating marked reduction in poverty levels, we are mindful that macroeconomic stability, while necessary, is not sufficient on its own. Economic growth must be inclusive and must translate into tangible improvements in the welfare of Nigerians.

Accordingly, the Government continues to strengthen targeted social protection programmes, including direct cash transfers to vulnerable households, support for small businesses, student financing through the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), consumer credit initiatives, healthcare investments, and interventions aimed at improving livelihoods and expanding economic opportunities.

In agriculture, the Government is scaling up investments through the Renewed Hope National Agricultural Mechanisation Programme and other initiatives designed to improve productivity, expand irrigation and dry-season farming, enhance access to inputs and financing, strengthen value chains, and improve food security. These efforts are aimed at moderating food inflation while creating jobs and raising rural incomes.

The Federal Government also welcomes the IMF's recognition of the progress being made in domestic revenue mobilisation and public financial management reforms. The successful implementation of Nigeria's new tax laws, the digitisation of revenue collection processes, improved transparency in public finance, and enhanced accountability mechanisms will continue to strengthen fiscal sustainability while ensuring a fairer and more efficient tax system.

We note the IMF's recommendations regarding fiscal reporting, budget transparency, and data reconciliation. The Government is already taking steps to strengthen fiscal data integrity, improve coordination among relevant institutions, enhance transparency in budget execution, and deepen public financial management reforms. Efforts are ongoing to improve fiscal reporting systems and ensure that economic and fiscal statistics continue to meet the highest international standards.

The report's medium-term outlook reinforces confidence in Nigeria's economic prospects. The IMF projects continued economic growth above four percent, improving external reserves, rising investment, and strengthening fiscal revenues over the medium term. Public debt has already declined relative to GDP, while reserve buffers have strengthened considerably. These outcomes which complement recent sovereign credit rating upgrades by leading international rating agencies reflect the growing resilience of the Nigerian economy and the positive impact of ongoing reforms.

The Federal Government remains firmly committed to maintaining macroeconomic stability, accelerating inclusive growth, strengthening fiscal discipline, deepening structural reforms, improving the investment climate, expanding infrastructure, enhancing human capital development and job creation. We will continue to pursue policies that support private sector growth, attract domestic and foreign investment, and improve the competitiveness of the Nigerian economy.

While challenges remain, the direction is clear and the foundations are stronger. The ultimate objective of these reforms is not merely improved economic indicators, but better outcomes for every Nigerian - lower inflation, decent jobs, higher incomes, greater economic opportunity, and a better quality of life.

Breaking Good News 🔥🔥🔥🔥

OPERATION HADIN KAI RESCUE 360 NGOSHE ABDUCTEES FROM JAS TERROR-GROUP STRONGHOLD IN THE MANDARA MOUNTAINS

In one of the most significant hostage rescue operations conducted in the North East Theatre in recent times, troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), comprising Special Forces and troops of Sector 1, have successfully rescued 360 abductees from a heavily fortified Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) enclave deep within the Mandara Mountains area of southern Borno State. The operation, which was the culmination of weeks of painstaking intelligence preparation, covert reconnaissance, and operational planning, resulted in the safe recovery of men, women, and children who had been held in captivity under harsh conditions after being abducted from several communities, particularly within the Ngoshe axis. The successful rescue underscores the growing operational reach, intelligence dominance, and tactical superiority of OPHK in denying terrorists freedom of action and protecting vulnerable populations across the theatre.

The operation was initiated following the receipt of credible and corroborated intelligence from multiple sources indicating the precise location of the hostages and the existence of an elaborate insurgent support network sustaining the enclave. OPHK intelligence elements subsequently launched an extensive target development process involving the integration of Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations conducted through unmanned aerial systems and long-range reconnaissance patrols. Through sustained intelligence collection and analysis, commanders developed a comprehensive understanding of the terrain, insurgent disposition, defensive arrangements, movement patterns, and the condition of the abductees. This intelligence-driven approach enabled the force to accurately map the objective area, identify vulnerabilities within the terrorist network, and significantly reduce risks to the hostages during the rescue mission.

A decisive breakthrough was achieved through the successful penetration of the terrorist network by carefully cultivated intelligence assets operating under the supervision of OPHK military intelligence personnel. These assets provided timely and actionable intelligence regarding the exact locations of the abductees, the disposition of insurgent commanders, internal security measures, and planned relocation routes. Simultaneously, carefully coordinated information and psychological operations created uncertainty and mistrust within the insurgent ranks, degrading their cohesion and disrupting command and control arrangements. The resulting intelligence advantage provided OPHK with unprecedented situational awareness and enabled commanders to shape the operational environment well before the commencement of the assault phase.

Acting on confirmed intelligence, OPHK Special Forces and troops of Sector 1 launched a meticulously coordinated multi-axis operation designed to isolate the objective area, dominate key terrain, and prevent insurgent reinforcement or withdrawal. Supported by real-time ISR feeds, assault forces infiltrated the objective area under the cover of darkness while blocking forces established positions along likely escape routes. The operation achieved complete tactical surprise, overwhelming the terrorists before an organised response could be mounted. Faced with the speed, precision, and overwhelming combat power of the advancing troops, several insurgents abandoned their positions and fled into surrounding mountainous terrain, while others surrendered. The hostages were swiftly secured, medically screened, and evacuated from the objective area. Regrettably, two infants succumbed to exhaustion occasioned by the extremely challenging mountainous terrain and the hardships endured during their prolonged captivity

BREAKING GOOD NEWS: 🔥🔥🔥🔥TROOPS RESCUE 360 WOMEN, CHILDREN ABDUCTED BY BOKO HARAM IN GWOZA 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

On June 6, troops of Operation HADIN KAI, in conjunction with Special Operations Forces, rescued 360 civilians mainly women and children who had been abducted from Ngoshe community, Gwoza LGA, Borno State, during the March 3, 2026 terrorist attack.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Special Operations Forces carried out preliminary missions that created confusion within t£rr0r!st camps, paving the way for ground troops of the 26 Task Force Brigade to extract the captives.

📍 The terrain was brutal. Tragically, two infants died during the rescue due to the harsh conditions.

✅ IMMEDIATE CARE:

♦️ All rescued persons underwent medical screening.
♦️ Those needing urgent attention were stabilised by brigade medical personnel.
♦️ Admitted to General Hospital, Gwoza.
♦️ Provided with food and water.
♦️ Moved to a secure holding facility pending family reunification.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

This is not just a military operation. It is a humanitarian breakthrough. 360 civilians, most of them women and children, who spent months in t£rr0r!st captivity rescued in a single coordinated operation.

The loss of two infants is heartbreaking. But the alternative remaining in t£rr0r!st camps would have been worse.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

T£rr0r!sts took them. Troops brought them back.

No ransom. No negotiation. Just courage, coordination, and the will to go into the Mandara Mountains and extract civilians under fire.

This is what victory looks like not just bodies counted, but lives restored.

Operation HADIN KAI remains relentless.
