Nigeria's Market Gains and Rising Poverty

First aired Latest aired

Gone quiet since

Where it stands

In 2025, just over half of Nigeria’s population lived in poverty, up from roughly 42% in 2022, even as capital inflows reached a six-year high of $23 billion and the stock market rose nearly 60% in 2026. The report links the divergence to reforms that removed fuel subsidies and sharply increased living costs; whether the contrast persists remains open.
