The Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) has posted strong financial results for 2025, with total assets rising to ₦4.91 trillion and Core Total Comprehensive Income hitting ₦478.8 billion, underscoring its growing role in strengthening Nigeria’s economic resilience.
The Authority also recorded a Core Operating Income of ₦525.3 billion, reflecting solid earnings despite global economic uncertainty and domestic fiscal pressures.
Presenting the 2025 Group Financial Performance Overview in Abuja, the Managing Director, Aminu Umar Sadiq, said the results highlight steady progress in building national wealth while supporting critical sectors of the economy.
He noted that beyond financial performance, the Authority’s 13-year growth trajectory reflects a deliberate strategy to build systems capable of withstanding economic shocks while delivering inclusive development.
“Total assets grew by 10.9 percent year-on-year to ₦4.91 trillion in 2025, supported by capital contributions and strong core earnings. This was driven by efficient asset allocation, improved returns across asset classes, and increased investment securities,” Sadiq said.
Despite foreign exchange-related losses due to naira appreciation, he explained that NSIA maintained a long-term investment strategy, leveraging a diversified global portfolio to preserve value and manage volatility.
Beyond the numbers, NSIA’s investments continued to deliver tangible impact across key sectors of the economy.
To increase access to cutting-edge diagnostics and cancer treatment, the Authority expanded its Medserve platform in the healthcare industry.
Three centres are already operational, while eight more are under construction, with the full network expected by 2026, boosting early detection and specialised treatment for Nigerians.
In the energy sector, NSIA scaled up investments through its renewable energy platform, Riple, aimed at improving energy access and reducing reliance on costly diesel power. “The initiative is expected to support cleaner, more reliable electricity for homes and businesses.”
The Authority also strengthened innovation and entrepreneurship through a $50 million impact fund launched in partnership with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The fund targets high-growth sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, and education, with the potential to unlock financing for startups and create jobs.
The Authority also intensified efforts to enhance food security by investing in temperature-controlled logistics, which aimed to reduce post-harvest losses and improve agricultural value chains.
At the same time, NSIA completed the transition of the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative to a market-driven model, encouraging greater private sector participation.
In housing, the Authority continued to support the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Cities initiative, expanding access to affordable homes, while also deepening financial markets through investments in credit guarantee schemes and real estate infrastructure.
NSIA maintained strong cost discipline, with its cost-to-income ratio remaining below five percent, even as it expanded investments in strategic sectors.
Sadiq reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to its dual mandate of delivering financial returns while driving national development.
“Our role goes beyond managing assets. We are focused on unlocking economic opportunities, supporting businesses, and improving lives,” he said.
Looking ahead, NSIA says it will continue to prioritise sustainable income generation, portfolio diversification, and investments that deliver long-term value for Nigerians.
