The report, which will reflect the current economic structure of Nigeria, will incorporate new and emerging sectors and technological advancements that have transformed the economy in recent years.

Rebasing can lead to a more accurate representation of the Nigerian economy, potentially influencing economic indicators like the debt-to-GDP ratio and tax revenue.

It is a routine statistical activity to ensure that national account statistics accurately reflect the economy, said Adeyemi Adeniran, Statistician-General of the Federation/CEO of the NBS.
