Tracking Growth, Policy, and Opportunity

Nigeria’s economic story in Q1 2025 is one of cautious but tangible progress. GDP expanded by 3.13% year-on-year, powered by a resilient services sector, renewed industrial activity, and a marginal recovery in agriculture. The rebased GDP figures reveal a larger, more dynamic economy than previously estimated—₦372.82 trillion in 2024—underscoring Nigeria’s untapped market potential and shifting sectoral strengths towards services and agriculture. Yet, inflation remains high at 22.6%, keeping pressure on households and investors alike.

Beyond the numbers, policy shifts like the Electricity Act 2023 are unlocking new frontiers for investment, particularly in state-led energy markets. Global capital flows are tilting toward climate finance, digital infrastructure, and thematic funds, with Nigeria increasingly in the conversation. Capital markets are rallying, sub-nationals are improving fiscal governance, and innovative financing models are emerging to meet development needs.

At the center of these shifts, Woodhall Capital continues to drive strategic investment, economic inclusion, and market connectivity. From launching the Creative Currency Podcast and a ₦1.5 billion Creative Sector Fund, to forging a landmark partnership with the Nigerian Governors’ Forum for global sub-national investor roadshows, Woodhall is translating policy opportunities into investable realities. Strategic missions, like the recent UAE engagement,
are bridging Nigerian projects with Middle Eastern capital, advancing energy, infrastructure, and creative industry growth.

As we step into the second half of 2025, the path forward will demand sustained reforms, digital innovation, and bold partnerships. Through Capital Pulse, we provide our partners and stakeholders with the intelligence to navigate these changes—spotlighting the trends, policies, and opportunities shaping Nigeria’s investment landscape.
