What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The World Bank reported that Nigeria’s federal economic reforms resulted in state governments receiving 93 percent more money in real terms between 2023 and 2025. Gross federation revenues rose by 69 percent in real terms over the same period, driven by exchange-rate reforms and the removal of the petrol subsidy. Separately, the World Bank noted that while headline inflation fell from 34.80 percent to 15.15 percent, the share of Nigerians living below the national poverty line increased from 61 percent to 63 percent between December 2023 and April 2026.
