Full analysis: why Nigeria ranks #35
Why Nigeria ranks #35
Nigeria scores 60.9 out of 100 and ranks #35 among 195 countries, between Argentina above and Morocco below. This figure is the Bureau’s single read on national power, built from nine components: inside the top fifty, it describes a power with real regional weight.
Strengths
The strongest component is Sovereignty at 70.0: public debt under 20% of GDP — room to maneuver; a current-account surplus of $17 billion — the world pays it more than it pays out
Weaknesses
The weakest component is Reach at 15.0: a median age of 19 — a nation of children, its workforce still in the classroom; fertility of 4.6 children per woman — far above replacement, a cradle overflowing faster than schools can keep up
Trajectory
Quarterly momentum reads 0. No single event defined Jul–Sep 2026. The country's position is the product of long-cycle forces — geography, trade, neighbours — all of which held steady. The Trajectory component itself scores 60.8. On the military board the country stands at 34.1, ranked #97. Head of government: Bola Tinubu (President).
