President Bola Tinubu told attendees at the 2026 Lagos Trade Fair that Nigeria’s next economic priority is to turn the gains of recent reforms into broader prosperity, focusing on enterprise, industrial growth and expanded trade.
The Lagos Trade Fair, held annually in Nigeria’s commercial capital, brings together local manufacturers, exporters and international investors to showcase opportunities across the country’s vibrant market.
Speaking at the event, Tinubu said, “Our next economic priority is to translate the gains of ongoing reforms into prosperity through enterprise, industrial growth and expanded trade.” He emphasized that the government intends to build on the reforms already underway to create a more business‑friendly environment.
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and its largest economy, has been working to stabilise its macro‑economic fundamentals after years of volatility. The president’s remarks signal a push to convert that stability into tangible growth for businesses and workers alike.
According to Tinubu, the administration will focus on supporting small and medium‑size enterprises, encouraging manufacturing expansion and deepening trade links both regionally and globally, with the aim of delivering tangible benefits to the Nigerian people.
