What Are Investment Signals?

Investment signals represent early-stage indicators of investor interest, encompassing announced, in-progress, pledged, and completed investments. These figures do not mean immediate capital inflow but reflect investor intent and confidence in Nigeria’s economic outlook.
In Q2 2025, the country recorded over 80 investment signals, broken down as:

• 29 in April
• 33 in May
• 18 in June

By project stage:

• 39 completed
• 29 announced
• 10 in progress
• 2 pledged

• Manufacturing
• Education
• Healthcare
• Renewable Energy

The private sector was the dominant driver, contributing 45 of the 80 investment signals, reflecting ongoing business confidence despite macroeconomic challenges.

Significance for Nigeria’s Economic Outlook

This surge in signals suggests Nigeria’s investment appeal is recovering, aided by ongoing reforms, market liberalization, and strategic sector incentives. However, experts caution that signals must convert to actual investments to impact employment and GDP meaningfully.

The NIPC, under its digital tracking initiative, continues to monitor these trends to ensure transparency and policy responsiveness.
