Nigerian Government Exceeds Revenue Target with Surge in Electronic Transactions

The Nigerian government exceeded its revenue target by N88.73 billion in H1 2025, attributed to a rise in electronic transactions. Despite a shortfall in non-oil revenue, solid mineral receipts reached N12.14 trillion.

Oil revenue projections were below target due to weak crude prices. The Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System reported a significant increase in electronic payments, reflecting the country's growing digital financial services sector.
