On April 30, 2025, Sunday Dare, a prominent Nigerian figure, expressed optimism following a recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) report ranking Nigeria among the top five fastest-growing economies globally for 2025.
The report, titled “Fastest Growing Economies in 2025,” projects Nigeria’s economic growth at 3%, placing it alongside global leaders like India (6.2%), China (4%), Saudi Arabia (3%), and Spain (2%). Dare highlighted this achievement in a post on X, noting that Nigeria’s position reflects the success of President Bola Tinubu’s reform policies in addressing economic challenges faced two years prior.
Dare emphasized Nigeria’s leadership in Africa, stating, “Nigeria takes the lead in Africa with Economic Growth as President Tinubu’s Reform Policies abate the Headwinds that confronted Nigeria’s Economy two years ago.” He attributed the country’s progress to its 230 million population, vast resources, and Tinubu’s clear vision, asserting that Nigeria is poised to “punch above its weight again” on the global stage.

In an earlier post on April 23, Dare had acknowledged a slight downgrade in Nigeria’s growth projection from 3.2% to 3.0%, citing global factors like falling oil prices and trade wars. However, he viewed the 3% projection as a “good indication” of the timely impact of Tinubu’s “difficult decisions” and ongoing reforms.
