Nigeria’s currency could regain further ground over the medium term, with analysts projecting a firmer naira by the end of 2026, supported by improving foreign exchange conditions, stronger capital inflows, and sustained macroeconomic reforms. According to projections by Cordros Securities, these developments may help stabilise the exchange rate within a narrower and more predictable band.

In its 2026 macroeconomic outlook, Cordros Securities assesses that Nigeria’s foreign exchange market is gradually adjusting after several years of structural distortion. The firm expects the naira to trade within a ₦1,450 to ₦1,350 range through 2026, reflecting improving liquidity, reduced speculative pressures, and better price discovery in the official market.

The Nigerian Army has inaugurated a 60-unit housing estate under its Affordable Home Ownership Option for All Soldiers (AHOOAS) programme in Ibadan, alongside a Post Service Housing Development Limited (PHDL) shopping complex. The project underscores the Army’s ongoing commitment to personnel welfare and post-service stability.

The commissioning ceremony, led by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt-Gen Waidi Shaibu, reflects the strategic emphasis on the “Soldier First” philosophy. Speaking at the event, Shaibu highlighted the significance of accessible and secure housing in boosting troop morale, operational efficiency, and post-retirement wellbeing.

The Kano State Government has approved a fresh round of capital expenditures running into tens of billions of naira, with a strong focus on road infrastructure, public utilities, and social services, as it moves to improve connectivity, support economic activity, and address service delivery gaps across the state.

The approvals were taken at a recent State Executive Council meeting chaired by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, underscoring the administration’s emphasis on infrastructure-led development in both urban and rural communities.

Construction and development costs remain vulnerable to sudden shifts in material prices, logistics, and energy expenses. Even when headline inflation appears stable, on-the-ground costs can move faster than expected, especially for projects dependent on imported inputs or diesel-powered operations. Before committing capital, stress-test budgets against higher-than-expected cost scenarios and avoid assumptions that today’s prices will hold through the full project lifecycle.

A property may look strong on paper, but limited exit options can turn a good asset into a long holding period under pressure. Transaction timelines, buyer depth, and financing availability all influence real-world liquidity. Investors should assess how easily an asset can be sold, refinanced, or repurposed if market conditions tighten. In volatile environments, flexibility and liquidity often matter more than peak valuations.
