World Bank Poised To Approve $1bn Loan To Boost Investment and Job Creation In Nigeria
In a move expected to bolster Nigeria’s economic recovery efforts, the World Bank has set 16 December 2025 as the tentative approval date for a new $1 billion Development Policy Financing (DPF) loan under its latest initiative, “Nigeria Actions for Investment and Jobs Acceleration (P512892).”
The proposed facility aims to support reforms aimed at attracting private investment, stimulating job creation, and strengthening Nigeria’s macroeconomic stability.
It forms part of the Bretton Woods institution’s continued partnership with the Federal Government to drive sustainable growth and improve livelihoods amid global economic headwinds.
If approved, the funding will provide critical budgetary support and help advance structural reforms in key sectors to unlock productivity and reduce unemployment.
