ABUJA, NIGERIA – Nigeria’s foreign capital inflows surged to $6.01 billion in the third quarter of 2025, driven overwhelmingly by portfolio investments rather than long-term corporate commitments.

New data released Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed total capital importation rising sharply from $5.12 billion in the second quarter and far above $1.25 billion recorded in the same period of 2024.
