The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has assured that the Federal Government’s economic reforms plan is for inclusive, job-rich growth through digital work for youths.
Speaking at Nigeria House at the just-concluded 2026 World Economic Reforms in Davos, Edun outlined Nigeria’s reform agenda, emphasising fiscal discipline, macroeconomic stability, and the government’s commitment to building a predictable, investor-friendly economic environment.

Nigeria’s positioning is an emerging destination for sustainable, long-term investment in an increasingly uncertain global economy.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance, Director, Information and Public Relations, Osagie Jacobs, the Minister also said the country has recorded stronger manufacturing value chains, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and expanded energy access.
Edun noted that Nigeria has moved decisively from stabilisation to consolidation, embedding reforms that support private-sector-led growth, strengthen institutions, and restore confidence in the economy.
The Minister’s declaration came after last week’s report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that Nigeria’s macroeconomic stabilisation efforts were beginning to yield results, contributing to an improved growth outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Fund made the assessment in its January 2026 World Economic Outlook Update, in which it revised growth projections for the African region upward, citing Nigeria among key economies where policy adjustments are paying off.
The minister stated that under the national bio-economy policy, the ministry remained committed to promoting a circular economy that goes beyond the production and utilisation of ethanol.
