“Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem, which attracted over $2 billion in investments in 2024, will continue to flourish in 2025, as digital financial services such as mobile banking, digital lending, and e-commerce expand,” the report added, citing fintech as a key driver of economic growth for 2025.

The report also projected that the telecommunications and ICT sector is expected to surge by 8-10% in 2025, with the rollout of 5G networks and the expansion of internet penetration.

It further stated that Nigeria’s technology startup ecosystem is projected to continue attracting significant foreign investment, surpassing $3 billion by 2025.

The report forecasts that the sector will be pivotal in creating high-paying jobs for Nigerians and driving innovation.

“Telecommunications and ICT, a major growth driver, contributed approximately 19.78% to GDP at this time in 2024, up from 19.54% recorded in the same period in 2023 and higher than in the first quarter of 2024 at 17.89%,” the report added.
