  "account": "Nigeria's economy is expected to expand by 4.2% in the second half of 2026, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers' (PwC) H2 2026 Nigeria Economic Outlook. The growth is expected to be driven by increased crude oil production and stronger performance in key sectors such as ICT, Finance and Insurance, Construction, and Agriculture. However, PwC warns that despite macroeconomic stabilisation, the benefits of growth have yet to trickle down to households and businesses due to structural constraints and the costs of reform transition.",
