Nigeria’s economy expands by 4.43% year-on-year in real terms in the second quarter of 2026 (Q2 2026), according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The figure is higher than 4.23% recorded in the comparable quarter of 2025, the NBS reports.
Both outlets cite the NBS release as the source of the growth rate and describe the quarter-to-quarter context. Premium Times adds that the improvement is linked to stronger performance in both oil and non-oil sectors, while noting that industrial growth slows compared with a year earlier. Vanguard focuses on the headline growth comparison year-on-year, without detailing the same sectoral breakdown.
Overall, the sources converge on the same real GDP growth rate and its comparison with the prior year, while differing mainly in how much sectoral and industry-level detail they include.
