Figures cited by Punch show Nigeria’s construction sector produced ₦13.83tn in nominal output over the first nine months of 2025, pointing to a rebound in activity.
Analysts tie the momentum to improved sentiment and project execution, though material costs, FX exposure, and logistics remain major constraints on margins and delivery timelines.
Construction performance often signals wider economic spillovers—jobs, cement demand, and infrastructure effects that feed into manufacturing and services.
Echotitbits take: The rebound is real, but durability depends on financing depth and stable input costs. Watch for Q4 prints, whether mortgage/real-estate credit expands, and how quickly major public works translate into verifiable on-ground output.
