Nigerian CEOs bet on AI to drive growth in 2026
Nigerian corporate leaders are betting on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, talent management, and ESG to drive growth in 2026, according to PwC’s 29th Annual Global CEO Survey.
While confidence in the economy is rising, CEOs are increasingly focused on operational and technological risks that could undermine performance. The survey, which captured responses from 4,454 CEOs globally, including Nigeria, found that 91 percent of Nigerian CEOs expect the economy to improve in the next 12 months, up from 64 percent in 2025.
More than half (56%) are very confident in their company’s revenue growth, well above the 30% global average.
