What the numbers say
In 2025, Nigeria's industry, including construction, value added (current LCU) rose 7% on 2024 (from 67.84 trillion to 72.6 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +19.4% and a typical year strayed about 23.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below 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 104.5% in 1995 and the biggest yearly fall was 13.6% in 2015. 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 5.75 trillion a year. A straight line explains 97% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Industry (including construction) corresponds to ISIC (Rev.4) divisions 05-43. It is comprised of mining, manufacturing, construction, electricity, water, and gas industries. Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. 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.
