Is Nigeria’s economy outperforming its politics, or is the new political landscape driving this growth? 🇳🇬
While the APC has officially secured 100% control across the South-South, North-Central, and North-West zones as of March 2026, the Nigeria Exchange (NGX) is telling an even bigger story. We now have 24 companies worth over N1 Trillion. From Airtel Africa leading at N23.6trn to Wema Bank joining the "Trillionaire Club," the corporate landscape is shifting fast.
With the map turning blue (APC) and the stock market turning green, where do you see the most opportunity for Nigeria in 2026? 👇

Why not? When you devalue the currency more companies become trillion naira companies.

This is all semantics by the way. Just like saying Zimbabwean companies are septilion Zimbabwean dollar companies.

You can only fool the foolish.

I don't believe this especially Okomu Palm Oil Company

Not much of a success.

first a minority of the industries are manufacturing industries. None of them actively exports or earns much in exporting. None of them makes electronics, vehicles, heavy industrial products , energy industry machinery, even batteries and so forth.

One trillion naira is just 700 million dollars. That's not much

The above list shows how much we have failed as a nation that we do not have the kind of industries and companies that actually solve problems. We just dey full ourselves

APC has failed abeg

Eyeah...Sorry.
My condolences

Unicorns ❤️
We are getting there.
My company will get listed too someday

My company will be listed soon...We are currently working on bringing investors from Europe and Asia.

Why not measure in dollars ?

What is this ?

Stop estimating their net worth in naira. Do that in USD because we don't exist in isolation. We live in a global village

BTW, Presco dey give me joy die! A palm oil company worth over $1 billion. We are sitting on lots of money in Nigeria without knowing it because we have incompetent leaders.

you just summarized everything.

p.s there are roughly 7 companies in the world that have a trillion $ or more market cap

There is hope for d economy....effect of reforms ..if not for corruption and embezzlement ..the reform for shock everbody for good .

You will only deceive the gullibles. 1 trillion in 2026 under APC is just less than 100 billion in 2015 under PDP

Tinubu economic reform effect. While some people remained poor because they are taking their economy updates from a dullard that ruled Anambra state and left the state poorer at 57% above what he met it, some are reaping big fortune from the happenings in our market.

And how much in dollars? Skewed statistics will ruin every body.

You meant to say $700m,thats still some value in the third world category whichever way you look at it........also considering a high % of those companies are nigerian homegrown ones,thats some real progress if i must say and you need a stable economy with proper macro economic policies ro achieve that.

Anatolia:

It still shows we are a poor country which tells people a lot about their leaders

On paper .
Right now anything Nigeria i no blive

This is not an achievement.
One trillion to USD is 725m$.
If company that are worth this is only 24 in Nigeria,then Nigeria is doomed.

Good let the masses feel the impact

Why does everything have to be compared with Dollar?

Iran doesn't give a 4k about dollars yet Iran is well developed.

Can't Africans especially Nigerians breath without mentioning dollars?
