ANTI-MIGRANT VIOLENCE ERUPTS IN DURBAN AS VEHICLES BURN AND FOREIGN-OWNED SHOPS ARE TARGETED
The World Bank’s latest Nigeria Development Update projects average economic growth of about 4.4% a year through 2028, provided reforms continue and public-service delivery improves. Nigeria’s economy grew about 4.2% in the first half of 2026, up from 3.9% in 2025, while the Bank says state-government revenues increased roughly 93% in real terms between 2023 and 2025. It projects inflation could decline toward 12% by 2028, but warns that stronger revenues must now translate into better jobs, infrastructure, healthcare, education and living standards.
