2021 the Nigerian economy achieved a growth rate of 3.6% well above the IMF&#8217;s expectations, mainly due to the significant increase in oil prices and the ongoing recovery of the private sector. This marked a trend reversal after 6 years of economic growth that was consistently lower than population growth.<\/p><p>In December 2021, President Buhari presented the National Development Plan, a new initiative for the years 2021 to 2025. Targets include an average real economic growth of 4.6 % (as already in the ERGP), the creation of 21 million full-time jobs and the reduction of the absolute poor part of the population by 35 million people.<\/p><p>The plan, which envisages total investments worth Naira 348 trillion (USD 838.5 billion), is to be financed to the tune of over 85 % by the private sector due to the lack of state funds.
