He noted that while several global markets grappled with sluggish growth in 2025, Nigeria’s capital market recorded remarkable gains.

The NGX All-Share Index closed the year with a 51.19 per cent return, improving significantly on the 37.65 per cent recorded in 2024, and ranking among the strongest performances globally.

Tinubu further observed that the Nigerian market outperformed major global indices such as the S&P 500 and the FTSE 100, as well as several emerging-market peers within the BRICS+ group, underscoring the strength of investor confidence in Nigeria’s economic direction.

Emphasising the broader implication of the stock market’s performance, the President stated that the capital market reflects the overall health of the economy, adding that its strong showing is a testament to growing trust in Nigeria’s reform agenda and long-term economic prospects.

He concluded that Nigeria has moved beyond the status of a frontier market, positioning itself as a competitive and attractive destination where investors are increasingly discovering value.
