Summary
Nigeria’s Q2 2026 GDP report showed sharp nominal gains in services, with education up 43.98% year on year and human health and social services rising 54.32%.
Real growth was far milder, underscoring the gap between nominal and inflation-adjusted performance: education expanded 2.76% and health 2.64%, both only slightly above Q2 2025 levels.
Health carried the bigger economic weight, contributing 1.63% to real GDP versus education’s 0.52%.
Other service industries also grew, including arts and entertainment at 11.93%, finance and insurance at 9.29%, and real estate at 3.76%, while other services contracted 0.70%.
The figures point to continued expansion across Nigeria’s service economy, though growth varied widely once adjusted for inflation.
