My people, make we gist about wetin dey happen as Naija just attract big $720 million FDI for Q3 2025. Chai! Dis one no be small matter o! Omo, na di highest quarterly money wey dem don bring come Naija for dis year according to wetin Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) talk.
You fit remember say for di second quarter, na only $90 million wey dem record. E mean say dis Q3 performance na serious comeback! Naija people don fresh from di wahala wey we face at di beginning of di year, and e look like say investors don dey feel better vibes for di market again.
When we check di numbers well well, e show say compare to 2024, dis year Q3 don still beat di $570 million wey dem record last year. Wetin happen be say all dis sharp rise fit help balance Naija external position make e dey better, plus di foreign exchange liquidity don improve too, as well as di external reserves. Naija dey shine small small!
Experts don chalk am say di increase na because of di macroeconomic stability wey dey happen, and di exchange rate reforms wey government dey carry come. Everybody dey waka follow di correct path wey go help long-term investment inside di economy. Na so dem dey see FDI as stable source of capital pass di normal portfolio flows.
But no be all that glitters be gold o! Analysts dey come dey warn say even though dis Q3 sabi show no be bad omens, Naija still dey face plenty wahala like infrastructure wahala, policy confusion, and di security wahala dey still dey ground. These things fit still hold back di many potential wey we get for FDI inflows. E no mean say we no go enjoy di good news for now, but make we no forget say we still get plenty work to do.
As e be so now, we fit dey hopeful say di strong performance for Q3 go give us some hope say foreign investment go dey steady into di last quarter of 2025 and even carry over to di next year. Dis na time wey we need to open our eyes, and make sure we hold di government accountable to di things dem promise us!
