Late former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025, two years after completing his second term in office, left behind a mixed economic legacy.
But one sector that steadily thrived under his administration was Information and Communications Technology (ICT), which emerged as a consistent driver of Nigeria’s GDP over his eight-year rule.
From a modest contribution of 9.80% to real GDP in Q3 2015, the ICT sector grew to account for an impressive 19.54% by Q2 2023, just weeks after Buhari handed over power.
