The Democratic Front (TDF) has welcomed Nigeria’s inclusion among the top 10 contributors to global GDP growth in 2026, as projected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Mallam Danjuma Muhammad, and Secretary, Chief Wale Adedayo, the group described the ranking as a positive indicator of the country’s improving economic performance and a reflection of ongoing reform efforts.
According to TDF, Nigeria’s position as the 6th contributor to global GDP growth highlights renewed economic activity and growing momentum in key sectors of the economy, particularly outside the traditional oil industry.
The group noted that the IMF projection of Nigeria contributing 1.5 per cent to global economic growth signals increased productivity and expanding opportunities within the non-oil sector.
TDF attributed the development to current economic reforms aimed at diversifying the economy, strengthening fiscal management, and promoting sustainable growth. It stated that the ranking places Nigeria in the global spotlight and positions the country among Africa’s fastest-growing economies.
The group further expressed optimism that continued reforms and policy consistency could help Nigeria move closer to its long-term ambition of building a $1 trillion economy.
TDF urged Nigerians to remain supportive of reform initiatives, emphasizing that sustained collective effort would be key to consolidating economic gains and ensuring long-term prosperity.
