What the numbers say
In 2025, Nigeria's GNI, linked series (current LCU) rose 17.4% on 2024 (from 364.47 trillion to 427.73 trillion).
Across the 16 yearly changes before that (2009 to 2024), the average change was +12.7% and a typical year strayed about 4.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 25.3% in 2010. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 29.54 trillion a year. A straight line explains 93% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Gross national income is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad. This series has been linked to produce a consistent time series to counteract breaks in series over time due to changes in base years, source data and methodologies. Thus, it may not be comparable with other national accounts series in the database for historical years. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
