President Bola Tinubu celebrated the Nigerian Exchange Group's achievement of surpassing the N100 trillion market capitalization, hailing it as a historic milestone and a testament to Nigeria's economic rejuvenation. He attributed this success to his administration's economic reforms, which have led to a significant outperformance of the Nigerian Exchange Group's All-Share Index compared to global benchmarks like the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 Index. Tinubu encouraged Nigerians to increase their investments in the local economy, projecting stronger returns in 2026. The President also highlighted broader macroeconomic improvements, including a decline in inflation, stabilization of the Naira due to the Nigeria — Central Bank of Nigeria's policies, and a projected increase in foreign reserves and current account surplus. These developments, along with infrastructure expansion and a robust pipeline of new listings, are transforming Nigeria from a frontier market into a compelling investment destination.
