Analysis# Nigeria GDP per Capita
Nigeria's GDP per capita stands at $1,378.28 USD in 2026, representing a stark departure from its all-time peak of $4,363.36 USD in 2014. Since 1990, the metric has grown 47.4% overall, climbing from $667.01 USD to current levels. However, this aggregate gain masks significant volatility and recent decline that have eroded much of the country's economic progress.
The period from 2014 to present reveals a dramatic contraction. Nigeria's per capita income fell 68% from peak to trough, with particularly severe drops in 2023–2024 when the figure plummeted from $2,138.59 to $1,083.51 USD. While 2025–2026 show modest recovery, the trajectory suggests ongoing economic headwinds that have reversed nearly a decade of gains and returned per capita income to levels last seen in the early 2000s.
