File: Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun. The Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, says Nigeria has no immediate plans to approach the International Monetary Fund for financial assistance. Edun made this known at the African Finance Ministers’ briefing during the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings on Thursday in Washington, United States.
He said reliance on ongoing domestic economic reforms was yielding positive results. The minister said Nigeria’s reforms over the past two years had restored policy credibility and strengthened resilience against global economic shocks affecting many African economies.
He said the country had prioritised market-based adjustments, avoiding administrative controls, particularly in foreign exchange and petroleum pricing mechanisms.

He, however, urged faster and more coordinated financial assistance for African countries amid discussions on a proposed $50 billion global support package. The minister said Nigeria had built buffers through reforms, but noted that several African nations remained highly exposed and required urgent external financial support.
He said Nigeria’s reliance on market mechanisms had enabled smoother economic adjustments, reduced disruptions, and sustained the country’s macroeconomic trajectory amid global uncertainties.
