Nigerian Pension Fund Assets Hit N26 Trillion, Marking 22.03% Growth in Q3 2025

Nigeria's pension fund assets have surged to N26 trillion, showing a robust 22.03% growth by the end of the third quarter of 2025. The assets increased from N21.38 trillion in September 2024 to N26.09 trillion in September 2025.

Pension Fund Administrators (PFA) have deepened their allocation in federal government securities, comprising bonds, Sukuk, and treasury bills, which make up about 60% of total pension assets. Additionally, there has been a substantial increase in equity market participation, with domestic ordinary shares rising sharply by N1.6 trillion year-on-year.

The growth in assets reflects confidence in government instruments and market valuations.
