The Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment has unveiled plans to deepen trade facilitation and tighten policy execution in 2026, following a sharp rebound in capital inflows and export performance in 2025.
According to the FMITI Outlook 2026, the ministry will focus on sustaining reform momentum while strengthening implementation frameworks to translate consolidation into sustained growth, exports, and jobs.
The Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, said 2025 marked a turning point in Nigeria’s trade and investment trajectory.
“As we reflect on 2025, we recognise it as an inflection point in Nigeria’s trade, investment, and industrial journey, marked by deliberate execution, renewed confidence, and a Nigeria First approach to building a credible export economy,” Oduwole said.
She said total capital importation reached approximately $21bn in the first ten months of 2025, up from $12.3bn in 2024 and $3.9bn in 2023, reflecting renewed investor confidence anchored on policy execution. “Investment outcomes reflected this execution focus.
