So, we get this serious matter from the Association of Corporate Treasurers of Nigeria and Bismarck Rewane, wey be big economic analyst. Dem don drop bombshell say investment fit dey waka slow for 2026 because monetary authorities dey gree cautious before general elections.

For Lagos wey dem do ACTN Economic Outlook 2026, dem talk say economy fit see some small stability, but e no go make anybody ready to drop big money for investment. Rewane even yan say make we shine our eye as monetary policy dey expect mix and cautious vibes, fit cut monetary policy rate by about 100 basis points, but no be serious cut oh!

According to Rewane, investment activity go dey dey calm, no big moves for 2026. E mention say interest rate fit drop small, inflation fit ease down, and foreign exchange go dey more available. But, no forget say external wahala go still dey reason with us.

He drop insight on oil prices too, dey forecast say e go dey chill between $58 and $60 per barrel, wey go still put pressure on our fiscal and external buffers. Na wetin we dey talk, if oil no dey shine, Naija economy go dey struggle small。

Talk true, dem project say GDP go grow 4.4% for 2026, then 3.3% for 2027. Interest rates go remain anywhere between 25% and 26% in 2026, then fit chill small to about 23% for 2027. E also talk say inflation go average around 16% for 2026, with all the economy package wey dey come.

Baba no forget to warn us say money supply go dey increase due to election spending wey go dey happen. E dey say money supply fit still dey grow double digits – but we suppose dey control am well well.

Ogunnubi, wey be the president of ACTN, don also yan how foreign exchange stability don help corporate bodies after plenty loss during naira wahala. E talk say no be small matter when dollar-naira rate jump from N800 to N1,500. Now wey FX don stable, corporates don begin smile again, as dem no dey burn money for exchange losses anymore.

Ogunnubi dey try make sure say treasurers no go fall for complacency. E talk say 2026 go be year to dey shine eye because even with all the kasala from global level, naira dey hold ground. E believe say companies wey dey record profits go still create value for shareholders, and we dey expect say e go trickle down for ordinary Nigerians.
