TDF Hails Nigeria’s Top-10 Ranking in Global GDP Contribution

The Democratic Front (TDF) has welcomed Nigeria’s inclusion among the top 10 contributors to global GDP growth in 2026, as projected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

In a statement jointly signed by its Chairman, Mallam Danjuma Muhammad, and Secretary, Chief Wale Adedayo, the group described the ranking as a strong affirmation of the economic reforms and policy direction of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to the statement, Nigeria’s position as the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2026 reflects not only the country’s ongoing economic rebound but also the tireless efforts of President Tinubu to position Nigeria as Africa’s first $1 trillion economy.

“The IMF projection that Nigeria will contribute 1.5 per cent to global GDP growth, surpassing Europe’s contribution, highlights a new dawn of productivity and momentum, particularly in the non-oil sector,” the group noted.

TDF said it is encouraged by what it described as the success of President Tinubu’s reforms and the emergence of a new economic model that has placed Nigeria in the global spotlight as a benchmark for effective economic reform management and leadership.

The group further stated that the IMF ranking reflects the growing impact of renewed activities in the non-oil sector, which is now ambitiously positioned to compete with the historically dominant oil sector of the economy.

“The country’s consistent positive economic trajectory on the global stage under the current reforms points clearly to the inevitable success of President Tinubu’s commitment to building a sustainable $1 trillion economy,” the statement added.

TDF also observed that Nigeria’s sixth position among the IMF’s top 10 contributors to global GDP growth underscores the country’s leadership among Africa’s fastest-growing economies, describing it as both a significant boost for the President and a call to action for his economic team to intensify efforts.

The group urged Nigerians to remain steadfast in their support for the ongoing economic reforms, noting that sustained public confidence is critical to consolidating the gains already

recorded.
