Bola Tinubu (All Progressives Congress) has been President of Nigeria since 29 May 2023. Real GDP climbed 3.8% a year since Bola Tinubu took office in May 2023. Among the 39 national leaders with a year or more of figures, Nigeria ranks 1st on the rise in regulatory quality and 27th on the rise in liberal democracy. Over Muhammadu Buhari's tenure, 2015 to 2023, real GDP edged up 0.6% a year. The World Bank's regulatory quality for Nigeria stood at 44.4 of 100 in 2025, 6.0 points higher than at day zero. Figures from 2022 to 2025 are kept but not trusted: ILOSTAT's rate, recomputed from the survey's microdata on the definitions NBS itself has used since the 2022 redesign, reads below NBS's published one (3.1 % against 4.3 % for the second quarter of 2024) with no change of method to explain it. The rankings leave this tenure out of those series. ILOSTAT marks the 2024 survey as a revised method: the count of people in work rises by a quarter between Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.
